Local attorneys understand the Oakland hearing office and can assist with appeals if your initial claim is denied.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to appeal a Social Security denial in Hayward?
You have 60 days from the date you receive the denial notice to file an appeal. This deadline is set by federal law and applies to all California residents, including those in Hayward. Missing this deadline can mean starting the entire application process over again.
What is the typical wait time for a disability hearing in Hayward?
After you request a hearing, it can take 12 to 18 months to get a hearing date at the Oakland hearing office, which serves Hayward. The exact wait time depends on the offices caseload and the availability of administrative law judges.
Can I work part-time while my Social Security disability claim is pending in California?
Yes, but you must earn less than Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) limits, which in 2025 is $1,620 per month for non-blind applicants. Working above this amount can jeopardize your claim. Your lawyer can advise on how part-time work affects your specific case.
