Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to apply for Social Security disability in Massachusetts?
You can apply for Social Security disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. There is no strict deadline to file, but you must have worked enough recent quarters to be insured. If you wait more than 12 months after your disability onset, you may lose retroactive benefits.
How long does it take to get a disability hearing in Cambridge Massachusetts?
The average wait time for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge in the Boston area is about 12 to 18 months from the date you request a hearing. The exact time can vary based on the complexity of your case and the current backlog at the Office of Hearings Operations.
Can I work part time while my Social Security disability claim is pending in Massachusetts?
Yes, you can work part time, but your earnings must stay below the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level, which in 2024 is $1,550 per month for non-blind individuals. Working too many hours or earning too much can hurt your claim. You should discuss any work plans with your lawyer.
