Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Social Security disability case take in Apex?
The average wait time for a decision in North Carolina is 6 to 12 months for an initial application. If you appeal, the hearing process can take an additional 12 to 18 months. A lawyer can help speed up the process by ensuring your application is complete.
What are the North Carolina specific rules for disability benefits?
North Carolina does not have its own disability insurance program separate from Social Security. You must meet the federal definition of disability, which means you cannot perform substantial gainful activity due to a medical condition expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Can I work part time while waiting for a decision in Apex?
You can work part time as long as your earnings do not exceed substantial gainful activity limits, which in 2025 is $1,620 per month for non-blind individuals. A lawyer can advise you on how part time work may affect your claim.
