Why is my sassa reconsideration still pending

I'm happy to help you with your question! However, I need a bit more information to provide a more accurate answer.

It seems like you're referring to a Social Security Administration (SSA) reconsideration appeal. A reconsideration is a second level of appeal after an initial denial of your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claim.

If your reconsideration is still pending, there could be several reasons for the delay. Here are a few possibilities:

  1. Backlog: The SSA receives a large volume of appeals, and the processing time can be lengthy. The SSA is working to reduce the backlog, but it's still a challenge.
  2. Complexity of your case: If your case involves complex medical or legal issues, it may take longer to review and make a decision.
  3. Lack of information: If the SSA is still waiting for additional information or documentation from you or your healthcare providers, it may delay the decision-making process.
  4. Staffing and resources: The SSA's resources and staffing levels can impact the speed of processing appeals.

To get an update on the status of your reconsideration, you can:

  1. Contact the SSA: Reach out to the SSA's toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to speak with a representative. They can check on the status of your appeal and provide more information.
  2. Check your online account: If you have an online account with the SSA, you can check the status of your appeal through the "My Social Security" portal.
  3. Follow up with your representative: If you have a disability attorney or advocate representing you, they may be able to provide more information on the status of your appeal.

Remember to stay patient and persistent. It's not uncommon for the reconsideration process to take several months or even longer.
