After your Social Security application is received, it is reviewed by a disability examiner who may request medical records, schedule an examination by a physician, and ultimately issue a Determination. Once the Determination is issued, you may request a reconsideration or file an appeal before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). A hearing will be conducted where testimony and evidence will be taken. If the Judge denies your claim, an appeal may be made to the Social Security Appeals Council. If your claim is again denied, an appeal may be made to the United States Federal District Court.
If you have applied for Social Security and have been denied, have questions, or need help with an Appeal, contact the Pennsylvania social security attorneys at Calhoon and Kaminsky P.C., at 877-291-9675 for a free consultation.
