What is an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Hearing?
An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) hearing is a legal proceeding that allows individuals to appeal decisions made by government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration (SSA). This is particularly relevant for cancer patients seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. During the hearing, an independent judge reviews the case, hears testimony, and makes a decision based on the evidence presented.
