What is the process to file a Social Security Disability appeal?If you have received a decisional denial letter on your social security disability or SSI claim from Social Security, you must contact Social Security to file a disability appeal within the sixty-day appeal process. You are allowed five additional days for mailing, so the actual appeal timeframe for appealing a denied disability claim is sixty-five days. The social security disability appeal process involves four levels, which are as follows: reconsideration, hearings request, Appeals Council review, and Federal Courts. You should apply for a new initial social security disability or SSI claim once you have been denied at the disability hearings level. You may file the new disability claim and send a social security or SSI appeal to the Appeals Council simultaneously. Starting the process to file a social security disability appeal is simple. Simply contact the social security administration and request the appeal. SSA will then send you your paperwork. If you are represented by a social security attorney, your attorney will do all of this for you. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
