What happens if your Disability benefits are denied by SSA and you miss the deadline to appeal?
In recent years, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has rejected around 79% of the first applications, but you have the right to appeal as many times as needed. Be aware there is a deadline after receiving your denied letter to file an appeal and keep your case active and have the SSA reconsider your Disability claim.
So what happens if you didn’t know you had the possibility of appealing or there was a deadline you missed to appeal? Let’s explore your options and what steps you can take to correct the situation.
What is the Appeal Deadline?
The SSA gives you 60 days from the date you receive your denial letter to file an appeal, and if you miss this deadline your original claim is essentially closed, which means you lose the opportunity to have your denial reconsidered through the appeals process.
But while this can feel like the end of the road, it doesn’t have to be.
What to do next if I missed the deadline?
You will have to start the process all over again by filing a new claim.
If you’re not working with us yet, Casa de la Justicia can help you evaluate your application and determine the reasons why it got denied in the first place, and based on that – if you qualify-, help you gather enough evidence and documents to strengthen your new application for your monthly Disability payments and represent you with the SSA so you have a higher chance to win your case and receive your monthly payments as soon as possible.

If you’re already working with us and your claim just got denied, don’t worry. We will immediately let you know and start the appeal process, preventing losing time before the deadline.
