Appealing an Extra Help Program Decision
If your Extra Help benefits are denied or are less than you expected, you have the right to appeal the decision. You have 60 days from the date you received the Notice of Denial or Notice of Award to request a hearing. If you don’t want to attend a hearing, you can ask Social Security to review your application and any added information you send in instead.
Hearings are held by phone and after the fact, Social Security will send you a notice with the final decision. If you still disagree with the finding, you can file an appeal with a Federal District Court.
