Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a social security disability claim in Agawam?
There is no strict time limit to file for SSDI or SSI in Massachusetts. However, you should apply as soon as you become disabled because benefits are paid from the date of application, not from the onset of disability.
What evidence do I need for a disability claim in Massachusetts?
You need medical records, doctor statements, and proof of work history. Massachusetts law requires the Social Security Administration to consider your residual functional capacity and any limitations. A lawyer can help gather and organize this evidence.
Can I work part-time while waiting for a disability decision in Agawam?
Yes, but you must earn less than substantial gainful activity (SGA) which is $1,470 per month in 2023 for non-blind individuals. Working above this limit may disqualify you. A lawyer can advise on how part-time work affects your claim.
