<h3>Hearings and Appeals<br><br>The Administrative Review Process</h3>
<p>If a person disagrees with a decision made on a claim for
Social Security benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
claim, there are several administrative appeal steps they may
follow.&nbsp;<a href="/pubs/10041.html">Appeals</a> must be
requested in writing, within specified time periods. All letters
sent to claimants contain the specific information needed to
appeal.</p>
<p>There are four basic appeal steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>After an initial decision, a person may request a reconsideration,
which is a reexamination of the record.&nbsp; A reconsideration
applies in all cases except for initial disability cases
filed in New York State.&nbsp; For these disability cases,
a person can request a hearing before an administrative
law judge after the initial decision.</li>

<h3>Administrative Law Judge Hearing</h3>
<p>Before the hearing, a person, or his or her representative,
may review all the evidence in his or her own application file,
or may submit any new evidence you want the administrative law
judge to consider.</p>
<p>At the hearing, the judge explains the issues in your case,
may question you and any witnesses you bring to the hearing,
or may request that other witnesses (a doctor or a vocational
expert) come to the hearing. The hearing is recorded.</p>
<p>After the hearing, the judge issues a written decision after
studying all the evidence.</p>
