AppealCheckby Mayberry Berk

Was your disability claim denied?

A free screening tool from a California consumer-protection law firm. Answer nine quick questions and find out whether the procedural markers for your SSDI appeal look workable — and exactly how many days you have left to file.

This is information, not legal advice. AppealCheck screens the procedural posture of an SSDI appeal — deadlines, work activity, duration, and insured status. It does not evaluate the medical merits of your case and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

How it works

  1. You answer nine structured questions about your denial and your situation.
  2. A rules-based engine — not an AI — checks whether you're inside the 60-day appeal window and whether the structural eligibility markers are present.
  3. You get a plain-English explanation of where you stand and what to do next.
  4. If your appeal looks workable and you want to talk, an attorney follows up. If not, we point you to SSA's self-appeal forms and the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives.

What we don't do here

We don't evaluate the medical merits of your case. That requires your medical records and a representative who can develop them with your providers. AppealCheck tells you whether the procedural box is ticked; the medical question is the one a representative will work on next.
