Can You Re File Disability Once A Judge Denies

If you receive a denial for your disability benefits claim, you can—and should—appeal the decision. The appeals process is often long and complicated, but it’s worth going through if you believe you deserve benefits. The first step in the appeals process is to file a “Request for Reconsideration.” This is a formal way of asking the Social Security Administration (SSA) to look at your claim again. You have 60 days from the date you receive your denial letter to file a Request for Reconsideration. To file a Request for Reconsideration, you can: • Mail in a completed “Request for Reconsideration” form (which you should have received with your denial letter) • Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask for a “Request for Reconsideration” form • Go to your local SSA office and ask for a “Request for Reconsideration” form If you file a Request for Reconsideration, your claim will be assigned to a different claims examiner who will review your file and any new evidence you have submitted. The claims examiner will then make a new decision on your claim. If you are denied again, you can appeal the decision by requesting a hearing in front of an administrative law judge (ALJ). This is the next step in the appeals process. You have 60 days from the date you receive your denial letter to request a hearing. You can request a hearing by: • Mailing in a completed “Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge” form (which you should have received with your denial letter) • Calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and asking for a “Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge” form • Going to your local SSA office and asking for a “Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge” form At the hearing, the ALJ will ask you questions about your disability and may also question witnesses who have information about your case. After the hearing, the ALJ will make a decision on your claim. If you are denied again, you can appeal the decision by requesting
