Frequently Asked Questions
What does a social security disability lawyer in Santa Monica do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you file an initial claim, gather medical evidence, and appeal if you are denied. In California, the average wait for a hearing is over 12 months, so having a lawyer can speed up the process and improve your chances.
How long do I have to appeal a denial in California?
You have 60 days from the date you receive a denial letter to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. Missing this deadline means you must start over, so contact a Santa Monica lawyer right away.
Can I work part time while my disability claim is pending in California?
You can work part time, but your earnings must stay below the substantial gainful activity limit, which is $1,550 per month in 2024. If you earn more, your claim may be denied. A lawyer can advise on how work affects your case.
