Civil Complaint Social Security

COMPLAINT - SOCIAL SECURITY / SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. The cost of filing an action is $405. If you cannot afford to pay the fee, you may ask the Court to waive the fee by completing an application to proceed in forma pauperis. You must submit three (3) copies of the complaint, along with a copy of the Appeals Council letter and any other attachments for each copy of the complaint. The complaint is a fill-in-the-blanks form that is not difficult to complete. If necessary, you should ask a friend or relative for help in preparing your papers. It is most important that you (a) submit the complaint to the Court’s Pro Se Office within 60 days from the date you received the Appeals Council letter and (b) attach a copy of the Appeals Council letter to the complaint. If you have not received an Appeals Council letter from the Social Security Administration, it may mean that you have not exhausted all your administrative remedies within the agency. If you received the Appeals Council letter much later than the date stamped on the letter, you should also include a copy of the postmark from the envelope. All papers must be in English. The Pro Se Office will assist you with any questions you may have regarding the Court’s procedures and forms, but the Pro Se Office staff cannot write or complete any of the forms which are necessary to file the complaint or to proceed with the case. www.FormsWorkflow.com
