Do All States Follow The Same Disability Appeal Process?
Social Security Disability is a nationwide program and aside from reconsideration skip states, appeals do not vary state to state
The Social Security Administration (SSA) utilizes the Program Operations Manual System (POMS) to process claims for Social Security benefits. This manual includes in depth information regarding processes and procedures for operations regarding Social Security disability benefits and contains the overarching rules and guidelines for disability processes.
Skip States
With the exception of 10 states that do not currently provide a Reconsideration appeal, the disability appeal process is the same across the country.
SSA has eliminated the Reconsideration phase in the following “Skip States”:
• Alabama
• Alaska
• California (Los Angeles North and Los Angeles West Branches only)
• Colorado
• Louisiana
• Michigan
• Missouri
• New Hampshire
• New York
• Pennsylvania
If you file an appeal to your initial disability application denial in the above ten states, your appeal will become your request for a Hearing.
