The Appeals Process

There are four levels of the appeals process that a New Jersey Social Security appeals attorney can help you with. These include the following:

  • Reconsideration
  • Hearing by an administrative law judge
  • Review by an Appeals Council
  • Federal court

If you are not satisfied with the decision of the first level of reconsideration, you have the right to take your claim to the next level until you reach the ultimate decision by the federal court. When you file an appeal, the court will look at the entire decision, not just the small part that you disagree with. If you present a strong case, the determination can be changed.
