Social Security Appeals

Social Security Appeals are processes to challenge a denied or reduced Social Security benefit decision. If your claim is denied, you can request a review, request an administrative hearing, or appeal to a higher authority if necessary. These steps give you the opportunity to present additional evidence or arguments to support your case. The goal is to ensure a fair evaluation of your eligibility for disability, retirement, or survivor benefits. The process involves specific deadlines and procedures, so it's important to follow official instructions carefully. If successful, the appeal can result in an approval or adjustment of your benefits.
