The questions your team needs answered
Every hearings before alj intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you seeking help with a Social Security disability case (SSDI or SSI) in the United States? | A "yes" flags a higher-value, higher-urgency lead you’ll want to reach first. |
| Have you received a notice that your case is at the hearing stage with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), or are you trying to request an ALJ hearing after a denial? | Confirms the case is actually at (or headed to) the ALJ hearing stage rather than an earlier point in the SSA process, which is what this intake is built to qualify. |
| Is your disability claim currently denied or not fully approved (for example, denied at the initial or reconsideration level)? | A hearing before an ALJ only exists because a claim was denied, so a 'no' here signals the lead may belong with a different service like Initial Applications. |
| Do you still have time to appeal or request the hearing (or have you already filed the hearing request on time)? | Whether time remains to request or has already been used to file the hearing determines how urgently the firm needs to act, since SSA appeal deadlines are strict. |
| Are you the person applying for benefits, or a parent/guardian/legal representative for the person applying? | Only the applicant or someone with legal standing (parent, guardian, representative) can move the case forward, so this answer flags callers who may need to clarify authority first. |
| Do you have a medical condition that has lasted (or is expected to last) at least 12 months or could result in death? | SSA requires the impairment to last or be expected to last 12 months or result in death, so a 'no' here signals the claim may not meet the basic disability duration standard. |
| Does your condition keep you from working at a regular job, or significantly limit your ability to work? | The core issue an ALJ decides is whether the condition prevents the claimant from working, so this answer gives early insight into the strength of the vocational argument. |

Built for hearings before alj workflows
| Cliont capability | Hearings Before ALJ application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | When a lead answers that their claim hasn't been denied, the intake can steer messaging toward Initial Applications or Reconsiderations instead of treating them as ALJ-hearing-ready. |
| Weighted lead scoring | The intake weights the appeal-deadline question heavily, so claimants who still have time to request a hearing surface above those who missed the window. |
| CRM routing | Denial status, hearing-notice answers, and medical duration answers are attached to the lead record so your CRM shows hearing posture at a glance, not just contact details. |
| Guided video/form widget | Captures the claimant's own description of how their condition limits work before the consultation, giving the attorney context on the vocational argument in advance. |
Common hearings before alj lead scenarios
Hearing notice already received
Claimant has a scheduled ALJ hearing date and was denied at reconsideration, so the intake flags a time-sensitive, high-value case for immediate CRM routing.
Appeal deadline already missed
The claimant answers that they no longer have time to request the hearing, which the intake scores low so staff can decide whether a late-filing exception is even worth pursuing.
Family member calling without authority
Someone contacts the firm about a relative's case but is neither the applicant nor a legal representative, which the intake surfaces as a low-fit lead needing clarification before intake proceeds.
Condition under 12 months
The claimant's medical condition hasn't yet lasted or isn't expected to last 12 months, a signal the intake weights low since it may not meet SSA's duration requirement.
Not yet at the hearing stage
The claim hasn't been denied or the person hasn't filed a hearing request, so the intake distinguishes this from a true ALJ hearing lead and routes it accordingly rather than treating it as hearing-ready.

Hearings Before ALJ lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell an ALJ hearing lead apart from an initial application or reconsideration?
The intake asks directly whether the claim has been denied and whether the person has received a hearing notice or is requesting one, so someone who's never been denied gets flagged differently than someone already at the ALJ stage rather than mixed in with Initial Applications or Reconsiderations leads.
What happens if a caller's appeal deadline has already passed?
The intake captures whether they still have time to appeal or already filed on time, and scores a missed deadline lower so your team can quickly triage whether a late-filing argument is realistic before a consultation gets booked.
Can the intake handle a spouse or family member calling on behalf of the claimant?
Yes, the intake asks whether the person is the applicant or a parent, guardian, or legal representative, which flags callers without that standing as lower fit so your staff can clarify authority before scheduling.
Does the intake screen for the SSA's 12-month duration requirement?
It asks whether the medical condition has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months (or could result in death), and weights a 'no' answer lower since it may signal the condition doesn't meet SSA's core disability standard.
What if a caller isn't sure whether their case has reached the hearing stage yet?
The intake's question about receiving a hearing notice or requesting one after denial helps surface that uncertainty, so your team can redirect the person toward the right service, such as Reconsiderations, instead of prepping for a hearing that hasn't been requested.
What documents should the intake collect before a consultation?
It's built to request the denial or hearing notice letter, any appeal confirmation already filed, and medical records or a treating physician summary, so your attorney has the case posture in hand before the first call.
