Appealing a Denial of Benefits

 

bulletIf SSI notifies you or the beneficiary that it intends to reduce or eliminate the beneficiary's benefits, you should appeal immediately, and certainly within 10 days of the receipt of SSI's notice. Only then will SSI and Medi-Cal benefits be continued pending the result of the appeal (Section 416.11336[b]).
bulletYou are allowed up to 60 days to appeal an SSI decision (Section 416.1409), but only allowed 10 days if they want to preserve the benefits during the appeal (which can take months). Otherwise, they will be suspended.
