What Can I Do Online for My Social Security Claim?

For so many, the process of even applying and getting a Social Security disability claim paid is bewildering and overwhelming. It’s hard to fit it into a busy schedule. Applicants can apply for their benefits on the Social Security website. Still, some applicants find the questions confusing and may make a mistake costing them thousands in benefits or a mistake that can even lead to a denial. The best thing to do is to consult with an experienced Social Security disability attorney. You can schedule a free consultation by filling out our Free Evaluation Form.

What if My Social Security Disability Benefits Claim Is Denied?

Don’t despair. By filling out our Free Evaluation Form, you will be connected with a local attorney who has experience with denied claims. Your attorney will escalate the denial of Social Security disability benefits reconsideration to what is referred to as an appeal so that you have a better chance of getting your Social Security disability claim approved. If you’re still not sure about the appeals process, it’s best to speak with an attorney so that they can answer all your questions and clarify any concerns. 

Are Social Security Offices Open?

For most individuals looking to get their Social Security disability claim paid, officials will handle a previously scheduled appointment over the phone. However, for individuals with difficult cases or cases that, for some reason, need an in-person appearance, there may be a small number of Social Security caseworkers present at the office and able to handle these cases on an emergency basis. However, even an in-person appointment is no guarantee of a successful outcome.
