Parent Question

Where can I get help appealing a Social Security denial?


Published: May. 16, 2025Updated: Jun. 6, 2025

It's not uncommon to receive an initial denial when you appeal for public benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for your child. While Undivided has plenty of information about applying for SSI and maximizing your benefits, we cannot provide legal representation during an appeal hearing.

If you need help with your appeal, you can get assistance from the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives (NOSSCR). Call 845-682-1881 for help finding an attorney or representative who can work with you to understand why your claim was denied and submit everything needed for your appeal.
