Reconsideration Review
You have 60 days to file an appeal for a reconsideration of your claim if your initial application has been denied by the SSA. At this level of appeal, the SSA reviews your claim. You will have the opportunity to present documentation and supporting that you may not have been included in your initial claim.
Administrative Law Judge Hearing
If the Consideration Review is denied the case goes before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Just like the initial denial for disability benefits, you have 60 days from the Reconsideration denial. You will be able to bring witnesses and experts before the ALJ.
Appeals Council Review
If the ALJ denies your appeal, the next step is to go before the Appeals Council. This appeal also must be filed within 60 days of the ALJ's denial of your appeal. The Appeals Council will review the decision of the ALJ to see if the evidence was properly considered and that there weren't any errors.
Federal Court Review
The final step is to file a claim in Federal Court if the Appeals Council denies your review. As with all other appeals, the appeal must be filed within 60 days of the Appeals Council's denial. There is no jury in the District Court's hearing which considers procedural errors and sometimes will consider evidence and facts brought up before the Appeal's Council.
