Smith-Stewart v. Commissioner of Social Security - Disability Benefits Complaint

Paul Smith-Stewart initiated a civil action against the Commissioner of Social Security in the Northern District of California on April 11, 2026. The complaint challenges a Social Security disability insurance determination under the DIWC/DIWW classification (Working Disabled/Working Widows). The complaint filing fee was $405.

Affected parties include Social Security disability claimants who may have similar claims and the Social Security Administration, which may need to respond to the complaint. This filing represents a single individual's dispute with the SSA's benefits determination and does not establish new regulatory obligations.
