What Are the Social Security Disability Appeal Deadlines?

You only have sixty (60) calendar days from the exact date on an unfavorable decision to file an appeal.    In the State of Florida, if you are issued a Notice of Disapproved Claim on your Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance claim or your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim, you must file a Request for Reconsideration to protect your appeal rights. There is a Social Security form for this appeal, Form SSA-561-U2.  If you are issued a Notice of Reconsideration on your claim(s), you must file a Request for Hearing By Administrative Law Judge, Social Security Form HA-501-U5.
