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.

My social security amount remains the same as last year even though it’s supposed to be increased 2.8% in 2019 because of a rise in the cost of living.
Beneficiary’s name: Greg W. Buse

I am appealing my new SS amount for 2019.
You show $593.50 before deductions
You show $133.50 for Medicare Medical ins.
You show the total of my check at $460.00
Please recheck the figures. I find different figures on 610.12
135.50
with a total check for 474.62. Please advise

my new 2019 benefit does not reflect my additional 8% increase for delaying my benefits from January to July of 2018. How do I get this corrected?
Josephine S.
The Medicare Prescription Drug Plan is not included in the supplement I chose. My amount should not have a prescription plan amount.
Ellen W.
the amount I received is less than the amount I was notified I would receive.

My name is Donald L. Meier, SSN478-40-6330. 825 51st Ave. Greeley, CO 80634. Just received info on changes to my social security annuity. The change is: There is no change. I will receive the same amount I have for the last several years. Could you please explain why I do not qualify for an increase> Thanks

As of January 1,2019 I am not having my prescription drug plan deducted from my social security benefits. In a previous letter without my prescription plan being deducted my payment will be 2,104.

I do not think I got 2.8 increase.

Dear sir/madame,
I ould like to cancel my medical insurance, if necessary because deduction of 135 dollars is too much on my retirement benefit, thank you so much.

Everyone at least got a $20 raise— why did I get only a $3 raise that’s ridiculous!! I know I Worked part time but 2.8% should be more than $3–that’s a cost of living raise? The price of milk goes up everyday!
