The Social Security Administration (SSA) has several programs that can make one’s life easier. The process for receiving such benefits can, at times, be a lengthy and involved process. It often requires enlisting the help of an attorney who is skilled in Social Security disability law.
Being Denied By Social Security
If you have applied for benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA), it is possible that you were denied. If that is the case, you can appeal the SSA decision. Anyone who requires benefits, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), is going to want to appeal such a decision. If you are in legitimate need of assistance, then you cannot afford to do otherwise.
In the United States, the appeals process involves the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review, or ODAR for short. ODAR is one of the largest administrative adjudication systems in the world, according to the SSA. Headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, across the country ODAR has:
- 10 Regional Offices
- 166 Hearing Offices (including 2 Satellite Offices)
- 5 National Hearing Centers
- 4 National Case Assistance Centers
