What is the time frame for a judge to write up a decision for a disability hearing?


Administrative law judges do not write their own decisions, as this would most likely slow down the appeal process. And considering the backlog of hearings across the nation, it would be a terrible idea for judges to be bogged down in writing decisions.

Decision writers write the decisions and send them to various payment centers for processing. Generally, Social Security decisions are written within a couple of months of your hearing, however it may take a few months.

If you have not received your written decision within ninety days, you should check the status of your hearings decision. Security hearings offices process thousands of claims, and some decisions may be misplaced or delayed because of the enormous workloads at hearing’s offices across the nation.
