Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to appeal a denied social security disability claim in California?
You have 60 days from the date you receive your denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This deadline is strict and missing it can require starting a new application.
What is the typical success rate for social security disability appeals in Mission Viejo?
Success rates vary by case type and hearing office. In California, about 50 percent of initial claims are denied, but many are approved on appeal with legal representation. Local lawyers can review your specific situation.
Can I work part-time while waiting for a social security disability decision in California?
Yes, but you must earn less than the substantial gainful activity limit, which in 2025 is 1620 dollars per month for non-blind applicants. Earning above this can hurt your claim. A lawyer can advise on safe work limits.
