| Appeals to the Federal District Court |
If
you disagree with the Appeals Council's decision, or if the Appeals
Council decides not to review your disability case, you can file a
civil suit in a federal district court. This is the last level of
the appeals process.
The civil action is filed in the district court of the United States
for the judicial district in which you reside or where you have your
principal place of business. If you do not reside within any such
judicial district or if you do not have your principal place of
business within any such judicial district, the civil action must be
filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia.
There is a $350.00 fee for filing a civil action in federal court,
unless you have no funds or limited assets and the federal court grants
you permission to proceed without having to pay the filing fee.
If you need to go to federal court, we are licensed in Arizona and Georgia, and the U.S. Courts of Appeals.
