The Social Security Claims Process

Mondello & Levey has experience at all levels of the Social Security claims process. We are determined to succeed in every case we handle.

If your initial claim has been denied it is important to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

The process for obtaining Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income benefits is as follows:

Initial claim — your claim may or may not succeed at this level. We can explain the forms you need to complete and explain the Social Security process.

Reconsideration request — if your initial claim was denied, we can request that the Social Security Administration (SSA) review your claim. Often, we can obtain approval at this level by providing additional medical information to SSA.

Administrative hearing — our firm can request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. We will prepare you for this hearing and present medical evidence in support of your case. We can also cross examine opposing experts to try to undercut their arguments.

Appeal to federal court — if necessary, we can appeal your case to federal court. Cases are often referred to another Administrative Law Judge however, and we will represent you in that hearing.
