I turned 65 in August 2017, filed for Medicare and received an notice for Overpayment for a Disability Claim in 2005. I filed a request for reconsideration in August 2017, and submitted proof that there was no overpayment (1099 from SSA) I wish to retire this September but cannot without a resolution to this claim. I have worked with the local SSA Office and they have tried to contact the Payment Division for an update. I was given 30 days to pay back 19 thousand Dollars, it has been nearly seven months with no response from SSA. How long will it take? Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry,

I really can't say for sure because every office is different. I would check back in a month if you haven't heard anything back before then.

Hi Donald,

Unfortunately the it is different for every case. If you hired an attorney, they typically find out the decision of your case first. I would contact them and see if they have any updated information.

Hi Denise,

That is tough. The more medical evidence (doctor's notes, exam results, bills, etc.) you are able to use to support your claim, the better chance you will have of being approved. Each case is different though. Good luck!

I requested a reconsideration because I don't agree with the decision. How long should I expect to wait? I want another interview.

Hi Ismael,

The release form will allow the SSA to look at your medical records again for the appeals process. It does not mean that you were approved, but it does mean that the SSA is looking at your appeal and reviewing your information again.

Hi Dee,

Most people are denied on their initial application. Your denial could have been for technical reasons, and not medical. For SSDI, you need to have enough work credits (earned by paying into Social Security taxes). A general rule of thumb is that if you worked 5 of the last 10 years, you should have enough credits. For SSI you need to be below the income limits. If you are single, you need to have less than $2,000 in assets and if you are married, you need less than $3,000 in assets.

Your denial letter should state why you were denied. You can also appeal the decision by following the instructions in the letter.

Online under SSDI it says a medical determination has been made.., but under my ssi (Disability) I have been approved. What does this mean?

Hi Raheem,

For your SSDI, it sounds like they have made a decision on if you medically qualify but may be deciding if you meet the other qualifications (such as having enough work credits).

For SSI, if it says you have been approved, then you likely were approved for benefits! You should receive a letter in the mail explaining the decision.

In response to my request for reconsideration, I received the following comment on the SSA site yesterday:

Disability Determination Decision Under Review

Your appeal is currently under review for processing accuracy. Once the review is complete, we will continue processing your appeal.

Can anything be interpreted by the language they are using?

Thank you

Hi Todd,

Unfortunately there is nothing that I would interpret based on that. Basically it is just a confirmation that everything has been received and you are starting the process now.
