Federal Appeal

Filing a Federal Appeal When You Have Been Denied SSD or SSI Benefits

In certain cases, your hearing before an Administrative Court and review before the Appeals Council may both be denied. When this happens, you have one option left.

Filing an Appeal of Denial of Benefits in Federal Court

• You have 60 days to file a lawsuit in Federal District Court.
• The court will not consider new evidence. Only the transcript (records) from your administrative hearing and your medical records will be considered by the Judge.
• A Federal District Judge will review your case to determine if the Social Security Administration (SSA) was in error in denying your claim for benefits.
