How to File Form SSA-3441 in Detroit

Get This Form >

When you’re dealing with bad health and can’t work, Social Security disability income could be a financial lifeline for you. The trouble is, most people who apply get denied.

If this happened to you, don’t give up. You have the right to appeal.

And one of the first steps of any disability appeal is completing Form SSA-3441. This form is called the “Disability Report—Appeal.”

Once you receive a notice of denial, don’t wait to appeal. You face a 60-day deadline to start your appeal
.

If you wait too long, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may reject any forms you send. You’ll be forced to file a new application and start the process over.

If you do choose to appeal (and in most cases, you should), you can fill out Form SSA-3441 online or fill out a physical form.

Before you spend a lot of time working on it, though, call a lawyer. At Levine Benjamin Law Firm, we’ll fill out the form for you.

Use Form SSA-3441 to provide an update on your medical conditions for your Social Security Disability appeal.

What Information Do I Need to Complete Form SSA-3441?

If your disability claim is denied, you’ll receive a letter from the SSA outlining the reason for your denial, whether you should request a reconsideration review or an appeal hearing, the deadline for submitting your request, and the process for filing your request.

It’s important to understand why you were denied as you start your appeal.

Then you should make sure to complete every field of Form SSA-3441. It may seem repetitive, but the more effort you invest, the stronger your form and appeal will likely be.

When you’re appealing, you’ll need to update your disability case file with medical treatment received since the date you filed your initial application.

This is the kind of information Form SSA-3441 requests:

  • Details of any changes in your health conditions since you first applied for benefits
  • Information on any new physical or mental health problems you’re experiencing
  • The latest on doctors you’ve seen and hospitals or clinics where you’ve gone for treatment
  • Where to find any new medical records on your conditions
  • The most recent list of medications you’re taking
  • An update on medical tests you’ve undergone
  • Whether you’ve worked since you first filed for benefits
  • Whether you’ve acquired any new training
  • How your daily activities have recently changed

With any disability case, make sure you keep copies of all your medical records. Including those copies will support your argument for why you need disability benefits.

How Do I Fill Out Form SSA-3441?

It’s important not to leave anything blank on the form—even if a question doesn’t apply to your case.

If the question doesn’t apply, put “I don’t know” or “Not applicable.” Leaving some answers blank can delay your appeal.

Remember, file your appeal by the deadline the SSA gives you. Doing this keeps your claim open and active and saves you from having to start over.

Whether you’re filing online or on paper, keep track of the deadline.
