Step 4: Filing a Social Security Appeal in Federal District Court
If your claim is rejected after filing a reconsideration request, we can appeal and continue to seek benefits on your behalf by requesting a hearing with a Social Security Administrative Law Judge.
If the Appeals Council does not find in your favor, the next step is to file suit in Federal District Court. We will review your case to determine if this is appropriate for your claim. In order to protect your rights, it is essential that you contact us immediately so that we will have a sufficient amount of time to evaluate your case and determine how to proceed.
