What is the timeline for appealing a decision?

If you feel that a decision regarding your disability planning law in the District of Columbia is wrong or has been made unfairly, you can appeal this decision. Depending on the type of decision, the timeline for appealing it can vary. Generally, you must file the appeal within a certain timeframe following your receipt of the decision. If you are appealing a DC Department of Disability Services (DDS) decision, you have 30 days from the date of the decision to submit a written request for an appeal. The written request must include factual errors relating to the decision, or actions taken that may have caused or contributed to an incorrect result. If you are appealing a decision from the individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), you have 90 days to request an administrative hearing. This request must be made in writing and sent to the school district where you live. Finally, if you are appealing a decision from the Social Security Administration (SSA) for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you have 60 days from the date of the decision to ask for a review. This request must also be made in writing. Timeframes for appealing a decision can be confusing. If you are uncertain about the timeline for a decision you have received, it is best to consult with a lawyer or get in touch with the specific agency involved so you can make sure you submit your appeal in a timely manner.
