There is an administrative review process provided for an appeal of a decision by an administrative law judge concerning social security benefits if a claimant is dissatisfied with the initial determination concerning an entitlement to benefits or other matters. A claimant must request further information on obtaining an appeal of that decision if he disagrees with a Social security determination or if a claimant can show in writing that his rights have been adversely affected by the initial determination. A claimant must first request that the initial determination be reconsidered, if the reconsideration is not favorable, the claimant may next request a hearing before an administrative Law Judge, and if that decision is also not favorable, the claimant can then request a review by the Appeals Council.
