Frequently Asked Questions

What does a social security disability lawyer in East Meadow do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you apply for SSDI or SSI benefits. They gather medical records, prepare you for hearings, and represent you before an administrative law judge. They also handle appeals if your claim is denied.
How long do I have to appeal a denied claim in New York?
In New York, you generally have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal. This deadline applies to reconsideration and hearing requests. Missing this deadline can result in starting the application process over.
Can I work part time and still get disability benefits in New York?
Yes, but only if your earnings are below the substantial gainful activity limit, which is 1550 dollars per month in 2024. If you earn more, the Social Security Administration may consider you able to work. A lawyer can help you understand how part time work affects your case.
