how long after alj hearing to receive letter
If you disagree with the judge's decision -- that is, you were denied benefits or you disagree with the disability onset date the judge gave you -- you can appeal to the Appeals Council. The Notice of Award letter gives you the deadline for appealing an ALJ decision: 60 days after you receive the hearing notice. You can request an appeal by writing to the SSA and requesting an Appeals Council review or by completing Form HAâ520 (Request for Review of Hearing Decision/Order).
