IS THERE A MAXIMUM WAIT TIME FOR AN ALJ HEARING ?




This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled.

Ideally, there should be a maximum wait time for an ALJ disability hearing to be scheduled after such a hearing has been requested, simply because...it is unreasonable (some would say insane) to require a disabled individual who has no source of income to be required to wait a year or longer to get a scheduled hearing date.

Unfortunately, the social security administration's disability system is markedly less than ideal. And consequently, the wait time for a hearing in many parts of the country is considerably longer than a year.
