Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to appeal a social security denial in Des Moines?
You have 60 days from the date you receive a denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. This deadline is strict and applies to all Iowa residents. A lawyer can help you prepare the required forms on time.
What does a social security disability lawyer in Des Moines charge?
Most social security disability lawyers in Iowa work on a contingency fee basis. They are paid only if you win your case, and the fee is typically 25 percent of your back pay up to a maximum of 7200 dollars as set by federal law. You do not pay upfront costs.
Can I work while my disability claim is pending in Iowa?
You can work, but your earnings must stay below the substantial gainful activity limit set by the SSA, which is 1550 dollars per month in 2024 for non-blind individuals. Earning above this amount may hurt your claim. A lawyer can advise on how work affects your case.
