Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to appeal a Social Security denial in New Jersey?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal. This deadline is strict and applies to all New Jersey residents. A lawyer can help ensure your appeal is filed on time.
How does New Jersey define disability for Social Security benefits?
New Jersey follows federal Social Security rules. You must have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death. The condition must also meet the severity requirements in the Social Security listing of impairments.
Can I work part-time while my Social Security disability claim is pending in Carteret?
Working part-time may affect your claim. If you earn more than the substantial gainful activity limit (which is 1,550 per month in 2024 for non-blind individuals), you may be considered able to work. A lawyer can advise on how part-time work impacts your specific case.
