What Is the Appeals Process?
Even if your claim has been denied, we may be able to help you recover the benefits you’re owed. The appeals process works as follows:
Step 1: Reconsideration
We can file a request for reconsideration to be reviewed by an SSA claims examiner who was not a part of the initial ruling.
Step 2: Hearing
If your request for reconsideration is unsuccessful, we can request a hearing before a judge. Beforehand, you may be asked to provide additional evidence or clarify information about your claim.
Step 3: Appeals Council
If the judge doesn’t rule in your favor, we can request an appeal with the Social Security Appeals Council. They will either review your case and make a determination or return it to a judge for further review.
Step 4: Federal Court
If the Appeals Council chooses not to review your case or rules against you, we can file a lawsuit in federal district court.
