What exactly is an SSA-521?

The SSA-521 is a form used by individuals to request a reconsideration of their Social Security Administration (SSA) disability benefit decision. Specifically, it allows beneficiaries to ask for a review of their previously denied claims for Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). By submitting this form, individuals can provide additional information or evidence that may support their case for benefits. The SSA then reevaluates the claim based on the new information provided.
