Appeals to Court as a Percentage of Appealable AC Dispositions

Published by Social Security Administration | Social Security Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 09, 2025 | Last Modified: R/P1Y
Longitudinal report detailing the numbers and percentages of new court cases filed during each of Fiscal Years 2010 on as compared to the total number of appealable Requests for Review (RR) dispositions issued during those same years. Court cases may be filed after an appealable decision on the RR is issued by the Appeals Council (AC). For this report, appealable AC RR dispositions only include denials of the request for review or partially favorable or unfavorable AC decisions. Fully favorable decisions by the AC are not included as they are very rarely appealed. Dismissals of the RR by the AC are also not included since they are not typically appealable to the courts.
