Indiana Social Security Disability Attorney » Valparaiso http://disabilitytse.com Tom S. Ebbinghouse, Attorney At Law, Social Security Disability Indianapolis, Indiana Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:04:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Indianapolis Social Security Disability Cases Appeal Processing Time Continues to Fall! http://disabilitytse.com/98/indianapolis-social-security-disability-cases-appeal-processing-time-continues-to-fall/ http://disabilitytse.com/98/indianapolis-social-security-disability-cases-appeal-processing-time-continues-to-fall/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:56:15 +0000 admin http://disabilitytse.com/?p=98 The processing time for appeals that go to hearing in Indianapolis continues to fall. 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.

Foster, Deputy Commissioner of Social Security, in his June 5, 2009 Deputy Commissioner Broadcast to Social Security employees, Indiana will have an additional hearing office to hear appeals of denials of Social Security Disability claims. The new office is to be in Valparaiso, IN and is supposed to be up and running by September, 2010. Help is coming to Indiana to work down the backlog of claims so that you do not have to wait so long for a hearing.
