Frequently Asked Questions

Why Was Your SSI Claim Denied?

When you receive an SSI denial letter from the Social Security Administration, it may feel final. It is not. Many Supplemental Security Income applications are denied at the initial stage, even when applicants meet eligibility requirements. Common reasons for denial include:

Missing medical documentation
Insufficient medical evidence
Failure to prove inability to perform substantial gainful activity (SGA)
Income or asset eligibility concerns
Technical filing errors
Missed deadlines

At Wettermark Keith, we carefully review your denial letter to determine exactly why your SSI claim was denied and develop a strategy to correct the issue during appeal.

Who Qualifies for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

SSI is a need-based disability program administered by the SSA. To qualify for SSI benefits, you must meet strict financial and medical eligibility requirements. You must:

Have limited income and limited financial resources
Be age 65 or older, blind, or disabled
Have a medical condition that prevents substantial gainful activity (SGA)

Your medical condition must:

Be expected to last at least 12 months or result in death
Prevent you from performing meaningful work

Many denials occur because the SSA believes applicants can still perform some type of work. Our SSI disability attorneys help prove otherwise by strengthening medical evidence and functional limitations.

How Do I Appeal an SSI Denial?

If your SSI application was denied, you have the right to appeal. In fact, many applicants are approved during the appeals process.

There are four levels of appeal:

Reconsideration

A different SSA reviewer conducts a complete review of your claim. This is your first opportunity to correct errors and submit additional medical evidence.

Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing

If reconsideration is denied, you may request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. This is often where many SSI claims are approved. You can present testimony, medical updates, and expert evidence.

Appeals Council Review

If the ALJ denies your claim, the Appeals Council reviews your case for legal or procedural errors.

Federal Court Review

The final stage involves filing a lawsuit in federal court to challenge SSA errors.

Our Social Security disability attorneys guide you through each stage, ensuring:

Deadlines are met
Evidence is complete
Medical opinions are strong
Hearing preparation is thorough
