Individuals who are not satisfied with a Social Security Administration decision are encouraged by the federal government to make a Social Security disability insurance appeal. If your claim was denied or you are not happy with how your claim was arranged, making the right steps to file an appeal is the key to a speedy resolution of your benefit concerns.
Ways to File an Appeal
There are 3 options for you to file your Social Security Insurance benefits. You can choose the one that is most convenient for you:
Online Processing – This option is available on the SSA's website.
Telephone Processing - If you wish to talk an SSA representative, you can call toll free number 1-800-772-1213.
SSA Local Office Processing - As claimant, you can either mail the forms or appear personally in your local office. But first you need to download the required SSA forms on their website and provide the information needed. The forms you must secure are: appeal request form, Form SSA-3441, and Form SSA-827.
