If We Denied Your Application, You Can Appeal Online
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: July 18, 2016
Social Security offers you many options to conduct business with us online. Far gone are the days when you needed to visit our offices or call us on the phone to appeal a denial of your disability benefits. Now you can file an appeal online, even if you live outside of the United States!
The online appeals application is simple, convenient, and secure, guiding 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 Social Security case is right at your fingertips. The online application even allows you to upload supporting documentation, like treatments, doctors, and medical reports, as well as an option to save your submissions.
Submitting all the necessary documents will save time and can help return a faster decision. Here are some things you’ll need when ready to submit an appeal:
- Doctors, hospitals, medical treatments, and tests since you last gave us medical information;
- Medicines you are currently taking; and
- Changes in your medical conditions, daily activities, work, and education.
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 world-class service to you and providing you with more options, like an online appeal, to conduct your Social Security business.

My monthly amount is 339.50 and you deduct 122.50 for Medicare and you say I will receive 197.00. I don’t think that is right.

My name is Jiaqi Liu and I am here for help. I am an international student that just graduate. I submit my application of social security number within the same application of employment authority. I received my EAD card in August, but not my SSN. I visited SSA several times and figure out the reason.
There is another female called Jiaqi Liu who has the same birthdate as mine already has a SSN. So every time when I submit my application, it was denied due to mistaking me as her. I have been waiting for two months and still been denied. But I really need to work!
Please indicate what could I do.

I would like a copy of my denial letter

I to appeal or at least relate my information, but it asks for my recent letter, and I only got one letter and that was in April.I was told by a gentlemen in Hibbing, MN three days ago that they would increase the amount they are deducting to 127.00 and when I called today the lady said I would get nothing in august and asked if I read the July letter. I didn’t get a July letter, only the one in April that I responded to immediately and the decision was to deduct 75 from each check. She said I get nothing in August because I did not respond to the July letter that I didn’t even get. How can this be rectified. Sort of flabbergasted when I went to the bank on the 8th and nothing. I will be happy to have whatever deducted each month, as long as I get some check.

thomas a.
what is the law on timely decisions for cases seeking back pay: 12months, 13months, or 18months. and does the fact you are already receiving benefits help your case. If not can you explain why not?
R.F.
Hello Thomas. We can allow retroactivity payments up to 12 months for disability claims. However, retroactivity cannot be before the claimant’s date of disability onset or the 5-month waiting period. We generally allow up to six months of retroactivity payments, for retirement and survivor’s claims. No retroactive benefits are payable for any month before individuals reach their full retirement age.
Please call our toll free number for further assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thanks!

of course like your web site however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality however I’ll surely come back again.
