what does this mean from social security website "a medical decision has been made and we are processing your decision"?

Answered 5 years ago by attorney Steven Neil Perrigo   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
Not necessarily, you can't read anything into that. It just means a decision has been made - and that means you are either approved or denied. If denied, you should get an attorney to help with your appeal.

Does This Classify as Fraud?

Answered 7 years and 4 months ago by Scott F. Bocchio (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
It's not that you will get in trouble but rather, how much will the SSA make you pay back if they feel you are receivign a benefit you are no longer entitled to receiving.

Why do you have to wait so long for an appeal hearing?

Answered 8 years and a month ago by Scott F. Bocchio (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
I would suggest a lawyer.  If you hire a law firm they can be the conduit between you and SSA.

Why would SSA take my income tax refund if I already have a signed agreement to pay back my overpayment over a three year period.

Answered 13 years and 11 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
The reach of the government arm is a long one. Although you have an agreement with the Social Security Administration, it was the United States Treasury that would have issued a refund.  The computers wouldn't allow the refund to issue because of the debt owed. Verify with your local office of SSA https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp that the refund was applied to your repayment plan, and that you are now closer to paying off that overpayment.    ...

Should I get paid SSI backpay from the time I first applied (2008) and was denied or the second time I applied and was approved (2 months ago)

Answered 14 years and 7 months ago by Michael J. Haller, Jr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
It appears your 2008 application is too old to receive back-pay. Look at your approval letter.  Usually, in the upper left-hand corner, it will say "Supplemental Security Income" if your case only involves SSI.  If that is the case, and your claim is only SSI -  your June 2011 application can be used to re-open an application filed June 2009 or later, not earlier.  At most, SSI regulations only allow a two-year re-opening time period.  20 C.F.R. §416.1488 Conditions for reopening. To re-open two years, you must show "good cause" (1) New and material evidence is furnished; (2) A clerical error was made; or (3) The evidence that was considered in making the determination or decision clearly shows on its face that an error was made. (b) We will not find good cause to reopen your case if the only reason for reopening is a change of legal interpretation or administrative ruling upon which the determination or decision was made. You do have the option to appeal the decision, but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  ... Read More
