Pennsylvania SSD Appeals Lawyers
If There Is Any Way to Win Your Case, We Will Work Hard to Find It
Has an Administrative Law Judge ruled against you in a Social Security disability hearing? Now is not the time to give up. You have the right to a review by the Social Security Administration Appeals Council. The Pennsylvania SSD appeals lawyers at Rubin & Badame, Attorneys at Law, P.C. have many years of experience representing individuals who go through the appeals process. Our attorneys have a proven record of positive results.
The SSDI Appeals Process
There are four levels of appeal available to those who have been denied Social Security disability benefits.
The four successive levels of appeal include:
- Reconsideration
- Hearing
- Appeals Council review
- Federal court case
If your initial application for benefits is denied, your claim will be moved to a reconsideration phase. Your claim will be reviewed once more by the Social Security Administration. If this phase also results in rejection, you may present your case at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ. If the judge rules against you, you may request that the SSA Appeals Court reviews your case. The final state, if the counsel once again rejects your claim, is filing a lawsuit in federal court.
To discuss your case with our team, call (610) 595-4917 or email us.
Time Limit for Appeals
You generally have 60 days after you have received the SSA’s decision to ask for an appeal. If you do not appeal on time, the Appeals Council may choose to dismiss your claim. This could result in the forfeiture of your right to any further review. If you are late in filing an appeal, the Appeals Council may choose to extend the time limit if you can provide a good reason as to why you were late.
Disagreement with the Appeals Court’s Decision
If the Appeals Court issues an unfavorable decision or denies your request for review, you have the right to file for a judicial review of the SSA Appeals Court in a federal district court. This is the last level of the appeals process.
Call (610) 595-4917 today for reliable guidance through the SSDI appeals process. Initial consultations are always free.
