As reported elsewhere on this site, in November 2009, the number of days from the filing of a Request for Hearing until the case was completed at the hearing site averaged 579 days. In April of 2009, it was 738 days and in June of 2008 it was 896 days. As of March 26, 2010, the number of days from the Request for Hearing for average processing at the Indianapolis ODAR was 534 days. The Indianapolis office now ranks 130 out of 144 hearing offices. Processing time for Evansville Indiana (rank 86) is now at 460 days and Ft. Wayne Indiana (ranked 115) is at 509 days.

If you check in the archives of this site  for the other postings for processing time, you will be able to see the other rankings for past times. Indianapolis has improved so that it no longer hovers in last or next to last place, and it has not for many months now. Be sure you check out the Archives for postings on many different issues connected to a Social Security Disability claim or you are not getting the full benefit from this site!

At the end of November 2009, the average processing time from the Request for Hearing was 579 days.  In June of 2008 it was 896 days and in April 2009 it was 738 days.  As I noted in my June 12, 2009 post, a new hearing office is supposed to be up and running in Valparaiso, IN in September 2010.  I would expect that once that office is open, SSA will reconfigure service areas of the different hearing offices so that all of the Indiana hearing offices will have shorter waiting times.

The average processing time in Indianapolis measured from the Request for Hearing was 896 days at the end of June 2008. At the end of April 2009, the average processing time in Indianapolis measured from the Request for Hearing was 738 days. This is a reduction of 158 days.

The bad news is that the wait is still over two years long from the Request for Hearing. It is important that you keep seeing your doctor during your long wait so that your medical condition will be documented.
