About Cancer Legal Care

Cancer Legal Care is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) that provides free legal advice, brief services, and full representation to people affected by cancer — patients, survivors, and caregivers — statewide. The organization addresses cancer-related legal problems that affect health and quality of life, including social security disability, health and disability insurance denials, employment discrimination and leave issues, estate planning, and medical debt. In the last 2–3 years Cancer Legal Care expanded targeted programs (including a Social Security Application Assistance Program launched in 2023 and an insurance-claims advocacy program, iCare) and increased service volume and outcomes. Recent organizational data reflect steady growth in clients served, measurable recoveries for clients through insurance and benefits work, and multi-year increases in contributed support that have enabled expanded program capacity.

Notable achievements

Delivered more than $26 million in pro bono legal services and support to Minnesotans affected by cancer (cumulative value reported on the organization’s site).

Reportedly helped over 16,000 Minnesotans overall and increased direct legal-client services in 2023–2024, with 619 clients served in 2024 and sustained year-over-year client growth.

Social Security and insurance impact

Since launching the Social Security Application Assistance Program in 2023, closed dozens of SSAAP matters with a strong approval rate and recovered benefits for clients; iCare (insurance-claims advocacy) has overturned many denials and protected millions in client funds.
