Trusted Ally was founded to protect and support former nuclear workers like you

We care because we understand. At Trusted Ally, you are not only a client, but a member of a larger family of fellow nuclear weapons workers, contractors and subcontractors. We are the only home healthcare agency providing EEOICPA benefits that is owned and operated by the great-granddaughter of a former nuclear worker.

“We started Trusted Ally to carry on the legacy of my great-grandfather Johney by helping other former workers like him. Trusted Ally is more than a business to us, providing outstanding care is personal.”
— Candace Honeywell, CEO & Co-Founder

Fighting for the rights of himself and his fellow workers, Johney was among the first to file a class-action lawsuit against the DOE, leading to the creation of the EEOICPA program. Johney was a nuclear and iron worker, stationed at three nuclear sites over his long career: The Nevada Test Site, Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Ohio and the Hanford Site in Washington.

After witnessing the positive impact that personalized in-home healthcare had on his quality of life, Trusted Ally was founded in 2011 on the mission to enrich the lives of all former nuclear workers by ensuring they receive the proper care and benefits they are entitled to by law.

How is Trusted Ally different from other EEOICPA home healthcare providers?

• We are not influenced by large investment groups.
• We have a free personal wellness program offering services like Red Light Therapy, Chair Yoga & Movement, Breath Work & Mindfulness, Nutrition Guidance, Brain Fitness + Neuroplasticity, Sleep & Circadian and more!
• Our caregivers and paid family health aides are W2 employees with amazing benefits, not contractors.

Why is Trusted Ally the right choice for you?

We walk with you through every step of the EEOICPA benefits process

We know the pathway to tax-free compensation and free home healthcare through the EEOICPA White Card Program can be complicated, but we are with you every step of the way through The Client Journey.

We help you register your White Card

If you already have your EEOICPA White Card, has your home healthcare agency helped you register it? We get your DOL Portal set up so you can have full transparency into your claim, approved hours, DME and all communication with the DOL. Did your home healthcare agency say they submitted your request, but you have not heard anything for weeks? Access to the DOL Portal will show you everything that is truly happening with your claim.

Free Personal Wellness Program

Trusted Ally is the only home healthcare agency providing EEOICPA benefits with a free personal wellness program. Our program is a science‑backed and innovative way to experience truly personalized, whole‑self care. We bring over 15 years of experience in compassionate, whole-person care, focused on restoring balance, vitality, and lasting well-being.

Our personal wellness services include:

• Red Light Therapy

• Chair Yoga & Movement

• Nutrition Guidance

• Brain Fitness + Neuroplasticity

• Sleep & Circadian

• And more!

We help maximize your benefits

As part of our Trusted Ally family, we want you to thrive, flourish and relish every moment of your life. Living your life to its greatest potential means maximizing your financial and medical benefits under the EEOICPA program. We will work tirelessly to make sure that you get the most out of the benefits you are entitled to.

Did you get a low impairment rating? We help maximize your compensation with a dedicated Impairment Doctor who reviews all possible Consequential Conditions. Just a 1% increase = $2,500 in your pocket.

In addition to the financial compensation from the EEOICPA White Card program, for every percentage of overall bodily impairment, there is financial compensation in the amount of $2,500 up to a maximum of $250,000. Other benefits include:

• Medical care, medical equipment, prescriptions, ancillary services like massage therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and hospitalization.

• We’ve helped some of our clients get home modifications approved to better accommodate their health issues.

• Home care services like Skilled Nursing and Home Health Aide assistance.

We provide amazing W2 benefits for your paid family health aides

We understand the strength and comfort that family involvement adds to your health journey, so we’re committed to supporting your loved ones as they support you.

Like our own caregivers, your family health aides are W2 employees and not 1099 contractors. This means they qualify for the following amazing benefits:

• Pay up to $20 per hour!

• 401k Retirement Savings

• Medical Insurance

• Dental & Vision Insurance

• Health Savings Account

• Basic Life/AD&D Plan

Are you unsure how to start the EEOICPA White Card process? Experienced a denied DOL claim?

These situations can be all too common for former nuclear workers trying to access the benefits they deserve. Trusted Ally will connect you with the resources that give you the best chance of getting your claim approved.

Whether you’re appealing a denied claim or filing for the first time, the process can be daunting, complicated and frustrating. We partner with an extensive network of Authorized Representatives who take the stress out of applying and can be the key to securing your benefits.

An Authorized Representative (AR) is an expert in assisting claimants by navigating the Department of Labor (DOL) and claims process. Choosing a licensed AR means you have an advocate who knows the system, fights for your rights and is incentivized to get you the highest possible award. Trusted Ally works with specialized ARs that have the potential to help you the most based on your claim.

Does EEOICPA actually pay claims?

Yes, and since March 2026, over $2 billion has been paid in total settlements and medical bills paid to former workers in the state of South Carolina.
