Quicker Decisions on Ohio Social Security Disability Cases

Good News! Two new disability hearing offices will be opening this month in Ohio.  For the last five years Ohio has had one of the worst backlog in the nation—Cleveland with a backlog of 549 days and Columbus with a 632 day backlog.  With two new offices opening in Akron and Toledo, Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue hopes to reduce the average wait for a hearing to 270 days by 2013 in all Ohio offices.  There will be twenty two additional administrative law judges hearing disability cases across the state.  After about three months, Astrue predicts Ohio will start to see some real contributions that will continue to increase for the next nine months.
