How many times can you get denied for SSI?

There is really no limit to the number of times you can apply for benefits or appeal your disability claim. However, there are a variety of other factors to consider when deciding whether to apply or appeal a denied claim. For many applicants who have received a claim denial, an appeal is the best course of action.

What to do when you are denied SSI?

If you are denied on your Social Security Disability or SSI benefit claim, you should request an appeal immediately, within the 60-day deadline. In some cases, you should do this yourself personally even if you have legalrepresentation, simply to have the appeal request “officially” on record as soon as possible.

Can a SSI check be denied for any reason?

No, no, no. You must make the magic happen. SSI checks will often go up or down because of marriage, divorce, separation, starting working, stopping working, or change in household income. If SSI ever discontinues or denies your check, and you don’t agree or don’t understand why, you have the right to appeal within 60 days.
