As of this time, the wait times in the state of Mississippi are exceedingly long. According to one attorney who practices in Mississippi, it can take about four months to receive a decision on a social security disability or SSI claim and can take another 2-4 months to get a decision on a reconsideration appeal. Though to anyone this amount of processing time on a disability case would seem overly long, this is actually fairly normal and in line with the rest of the country (and, typically, representatives of the social security administration will advise claimants and potential claimants, that cases at the application level average 90 to 120 days on processing time) Getting a decision on SSD or SSI takes a long time in Mississippi, as it does in every state (though, it should be said that a small percentage of claims are approved at the disability application level in under thirty days). However, the real problem with the disability system in Mississippi has to do with the length of time required to get a disability hearing scheduled. Individuals who are initially denied and then file a reconsideration request only to have that denied, are in the position of having to request a disability hearing. How long does it take to get a hearing date scheduled? Hearing requests in Mississippi can take as little as eighteen months, or as long as two and a half years. Can an individual speed up the hearing request process for a social security disability claim in Mississippi? Possibly on the basis of dire need. For a definition of the dire need concept as it applies to SSD and SSI cases, you may wish to review the following pages.
