What our clients say about us

“You were such an advocate for me at a very low point in my life. Without your encouraging, kind, and patient ways I don’t think I could have moved forward in a process that felt overwhelming to me.”

– Marlene

 

“Teri Bodeman and I have collaborated for over 25 years helping families access benefits, and she is a true advocate for all her clients!”

– Joanne Kloser, school social worker

 

“Benefit Boost was a breath of fresh air for us and our son. Teri is a consummate professional who explained in detail everything that we would be doing. There were absolutely no surprises, and things actually went faster and better then we anticipated - meaning we had success on the first at-tempt to get benefits!! I will highly recommend Benefits Boost to anyone I know who could use their services!”

-Rob

 

“Ms. Bodeman advocated on my son's behalf every step of the way. I felt from the beginning that she was very trustworthy and has the best interests of persons with special needs. I feel as though this company should have its name and benefits advertised more.”
