APPEALS FORMS

HA-501: Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge

Fast Facts:

  • If your Request for Reconsideration was denied (or if you live in a state without reconsideration review), the next step in the appeals process is to file a HA-501 form.
  • It is also known as the “Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge.”
  • This form is an official request by you to have your Disability case set for a hearing.
  • In addition to giving your name and contact information, there is a space to state the reason why you disagree with the denial of your claim. It’s important to point out why your medical condition hinders you from working and performing daily activities.
  • The form also asks whether you have additional evidence to submit, and whether or not you wish to appear at the hearing.

IMPORTANT!

Don’t delay filing your HA-501.

The HA-501 form may be short, but it’s very important. You must complete it within 60 days of receiving your denial letter in order for your case to remain active. If you don’t, the Social Security Administration will close your file. You will then have to file a new application and start over if you want to continue pursuing Disability benefits.

The clock is ticking. Call now at 855-702-9061.

Questions about the HA-501 form or Disability appeal hearing? We can help.

Disability can happen to anyone at any time. The Social Security Disability program was put into place to provide a safety net for those who are sick or injured and can’t work. Although the process can be frustrating, it’s extremely important not to give up ― especially at this stage.

Statistics show that 45 percent of applicants are granted Disability after an appeals hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, making this your best shot at approval. This is your one opportunity to state your case in person, present any new evidence and question witnesses.

Testifying and presenting your case to an Administrative Law Judge can be an intimidating and nerve-wracking experience. If you don’t already have legal help, now would be the time to seek the services of experienced Disability lawyer.

We will thoroughly evaluate the reason for your denial, fill out the HA-501 and other necessary forms, submit new evidence, and adequately prepare you for your hearing. Rest assured, your attorney will aggressively represent you during the proceeding, questioning the expert witnesses and making appropriate legal and medical arguments in an effort to prove you are disabled under the law.

Our services will not cost you anything up-front. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we win Social Security Disability benefits for you. Our one-time fee, which is capped by the federal government, is taken directly by Social Security out of a portion of the Disability back pay award and sent to us.

Simplify your life and increase you chance of success. Call us today at 855-702-9061.
