Social Security Judges Taking Longer

Social Security reports that in 2016 it took an average of 58 days for an Administrative Law Judge to issue a decision in a disability case.

In 2017 the average time has increased to 78 days.

Most likely due to not enough staff attorneys to write up the decisions.

Most everything will suffer due to inadequate budget for SSA.

It currently takes approximately 2.5 years to get a Social Security Disability hearing and an additional 78 days to find out whether or not you are disabled.
