Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to appeal a denial in Massachusetts?
You have 60 days from the date of the denial letter to file a request for reconsideration or a hearing. This deadline is strict and missing it can mean starting over. A lawyer can help ensure your appeal is filed on time.
How does Massachusetts law affect my disability claim?
Massachusetts does not have its own state disability program that replaces Social Security. However the state works with the Social Security Administration through Disability Determination Services. Your medical records and work history from Rockport will be reviewed under federal rules.
What if my disability is not on the SSA listing?
Even if your condition is not on the official SSA listing of impairments you can still qualify. The SSA will assess whether your condition prevents you from doing any work you have done in the past or any other work in the national economy. A lawyer can help present evidence of your functional limitations.
