Appeal Your Non-Medical Decisions Online
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: December 12, 2016
Social Security has a new way for you to conduct business with us online. You no longer need to visit our offices or call us to appeal a denial or adverse action related to your benefits. Beginning December 10, 2016, you can file an appeal online for non-medical issues, even if you live outside the United States. Examples of non-medical appeals include those for overpayments and Medicare premium rates.
The online appeals application is simple, convenient, and secure; it guides you through every step of the process. From outlining your rights to an appeal, to publications on the appeals process, a fair review of your case is right at your fingertips. The online application also lets you upload supporting documentation and save your submission.
Submitting your appeal and necessary documents online will save time and can help expedite the decision. Here are some things you’ll need when you’re ready to submit an appeal:
- Notice date or receipt from Social Security that explains what adverse action you wish to appeal; and
- Supporting documentation you wish to add to your request for appeal.
You can learn more about our appeals process by reading our publication Your Right To Question The Decision Made On Your Claim.
Social Security is constantly looking for ways to make our services accessible and readily available when you need them. It’s part of our commitment to delivering excellent service and providing you with more options, like an online appeal, to conduct your business.

good morning,i am entering a concern of the new benefit
amount, starting for new year January 15,2020.
Amount which shows a1.6% increase for the rise in cost
of living.I think if i am correct, that would amount to about
an increase of $22.00 to my current benefit amount bringing the total amount to 1,270.00.my concern is the letter that i received from you all,is that the increase would
amount to $70.00 per month which would increase my
benefit total to $1,318.00 just need to understand how
the increase is so different.
Thank You
