Why this exists

Sixty days is the number nobody notices.

Most Social Security letters carry a deadline — often 60 days to appeal, sometimes 30 to stop a withholding. The deadline is in the middle of paragraph four. People lose rights because nobody told them which sentence mattered.

How it works

Meaning, deadline, next step.

01

Paste the letter

Without your SSN or claim number. Nothing is stored.

02

See what it actually says

What SSA decided, why they say so, how much, and the exact deadline with the date it falls on.

03

Do the one right thing

Which form, which office, which phone number — and on a paid plan the letter or request written for you.
