Denied claims

State-specific denied claim information pages covering denial letters, appeal preparation, evidence, and attorney consultation questions.

What to check on a denial notice

A denied-claim page should begin with the exact denial reason, the date on the notice, the condition being disputed, and the agency procedure for the state.

Before you rely on a page

  • Highlight the denial reason.
  • Keep proof of mailing or portal messages.
  • Match the denial to medical or wage records.
  • Confirm the response path before waiting.

When time is short

If a notice gives a deadline or hearing date, verify the next step through an official agency or licensed attorney before waiting for more reading.

Choose the page that matches the current problem

Begin with the claim event that needs attention: a denial, treatment decision, benefit notice, work restriction, settlement offer, hearing notice, or unanswered request. Keep the source document beside the guide and use the relevant state page to verify forms, deadlines, and agency procedure.
