Social Security Administration Reconsideration Appeals
When:
Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00
p.m. ET.
When the Social
Security Administration (SSA) informs an older adult that it is going
to reduce or terminate that person’s Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) or Social Security benefit, it is important to know how to
appeal the action.
Filing a Request for
Reconsideration is the first step in SSA’s administrative appeal
process. Thousands of reconsideration requests are filed every year,
on a wide variety of issues. However, beneficiaries who file these
appeals are usually unrepresented. Even though SSA often errs in
taking action to reduce or terminate benefits, beneficiaries have
difficulty finding assistance from advocates in requesting
reconsideration to challenge these incorrect determinations.
Participants in this
free webcast, Social Security Reconsideration Appeals,
will learn about handling reconsideration appeals at SSA. We will
explain the step-by-step process when requesting reconsideration, key
due process protections, and how to advocate effectively for
beneficiaries in commonly encountered scenarios.
Closed captioning
will be available on this webcast. A link with access to the captions
will be shared through GoToWebinar’s chat box shortly before the
webcast start time.
Presenters:
- Kate Lang, Senior
Staff Attorney, Justice in Aging
- Trinh Phan, Senior

NOTE: This
training will be presented in a WEBCAST format to accommodate
more participants. Due to the high volume of participants, computer
audio will be the only option to listen to the presentation. No
telephone call-in number will be provided. Please plan accordingly.
Thank you.
The
webcast will take place on Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 at 11:00 a.m.
PT / 2:00 p.m. ET.
