1. Understanding the SSDI Appeal Process in Missouri
When you receive a denial letter for SSDI, you have 60 days from the date you receive the notice to file an appeal. In Missouri, the SSDI appeals process typically includes:
- Reconsideration – A different SSA reviewer re-examines your case.
- Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) – You present your case, possibly with witnesses or a representative.
- Appeals Council Review – The SSA’s Appeals Council reviews the ALJ’s decision.
- Federal Court Review – A final step if all SSA appeals are denied.
2. Filing Your SSDI Appeal Online
You can file an appeal online at SSA.gov. To complete the process, you’ll need:
- Your denial letter from the SSA.
- Personal identification details (Social Security number, contact info).
- Information about your medical condition and treatment providers.
- Details on any new evidence you want to submit.
3. Advantages of Appealing Online
- Convenience – File from anywhere with internet access.
- Faster Processing – The SSA receives your appeal instantly.

- 24/7 Availability – No need to wait for office hours.
4. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the 60-Day Deadline – Late appeals are often dismissed unless you have a valid reason.
- Not Including New Evidence – The SSA gives more weight to updated medical proof.
- Incomplete Forms – Missing details can delay your appeal.
