Important update from Olinsky Law Group:

Due to recent retirements and separations at the SSA Office of General Counsel, our team is starting to see a significant increase in voluntary remands at the Federal Court level.

If your client has been recently denied, appeal.

If your client has been denied at the hearing level, appeal to the Appeals Council.

If your client has been denied at the Appeals Council, appeal to Federal Court.

For Claimants’ Representatives, pursuing all available appeals to obtain the maximum benefits for their claimants is imperative, and now is the time to do it. Between the increase in voluntary remands and the Federal Judges already granting remands at a record rate, the odds are in your favor to win.

Don’t leave money on the table. It’s important to remember that a successful appeal isn’t just impactful on your client, but on you too.

Preservation of Back Benefits:

Appeals may result in retroactive payments dating back to the onset of the disability. By not appealing a denial, you forfeit these payments, leading to a significant financial loss for the client.

Increase in Representative’s Fees:

As representatives, we understand that fees are often contingent upon the successful outcome of the case. Preserving a client’s back benefits also preserves the available fees that you can earn on them.

Let’s work together to help get your clients the benefits they deserve.
