Frequently Asked Questions

What does a social security disability lawyer in San Marcos do?
A social security disability lawyer helps you apply for disability benefits, appeal denials, and represent you at hearings before an administrative law judge. They gather medical records, prepare you for testimony, and ensure your application meets California and federal requirements.
How long do I have to appeal a denied claim in California?
In California, you generally have 60 days from the date of the denial notice to file an appeal with the Social Security Administration. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to benefits, so it is important to act quickly.
Can I work part time while my disability claim is pending in California?
Yes, but you must earn less than the substantial gainful activity limit, which in 2024 is $1,550 per month for non-blind individuals. Working above this limit can disqualify you from benefits. A lawyer can advise on how part time work affects your case.
