Frequently asked questions

Does the SSA accept fax submissions?

Yes. Social Security field offices, hearing offices, and disability examiners accept fax submissions for supplemental medical evidence, SSA forms, representative authorizations, and appeal documentation. Use the fax number on your SSA notice or contact your local office for the correct number.

Why does certified proof matter for disability claims?

SSA appeal deadlines — reconsideration (60 days), ALJ hearing request (60 days), Appeals Council (60 days) — are strictly enforced. Missing a deadline typically requires showing "good cause" for late filing. A SHA-256 certified receipt creates an immutable record proving the exact delivery date, removing any ambiguity.

Can I fax medical records to a disability examiner?

Yes. Disability determination services (DDS) routinely receive medical records by fax. Use the fax number assigned to your case examiner and include your SSA claim number on a cover sheet. FaxSeal's certified receipt proves when your records were received.

Can I fax an LTD claim to my insurance carrier?

Yes. Most long-term disability carriers (Unum, MetLife, Hartford, Cigna, Lincoln) accept attending physician statements, functional capacity evaluations, and supporting documentation by fax. Find the LTD claims fax number on your policy documents or carrier's website.

Can I sign SSA forms before faxing?

Yes. Use the Sign & Fax tool — draw or type your signature, place it on the form, and fax directly from the same screen. Useful for SSA-1696, SSA-787, and other forms requiring signature.

What if the fax fails to deliver?

You are never charged for an undelivered fax. If an appeal deadline is close, retry immediately and consider calling the SSA or carrier to confirm receipt.
