If you get denied for disability do you have to file a new application ?


If you are within 65 days of your disability denial notice date (60 days actual appeal time plus five days of mail time which the social security administration will allow you), you may file an appeal.

The disability process involves an initial filing (the application), reconsideration/review, and then a hearing before an administrative law judge.

If you intended to file an appeal following the denial of your disability application, but missed the deadline, you have two choices. You can file a new disability application with the social security administration or you may request that good cause be given for your late appeal filing.

If the Social Security Administration determines good cause, then your disability claim will be appealed to the next level. If good cause cannot be given, then you will have to file a new application for social security disability or SSI disability benefits.
