How Long It Takes To Get A Social Security Disability Hearing.

I am frequently asked how long it takes to get a Social Security Disability or SSI hearing.  This is a difficult question to answer because very case is different and every hearing office has different degrees of back logs.  But this page should give you an idea.

Below you will find the average amount of days it takes by region to get a Social Security hearing.  The information comes from the OHA Case Control System.  These statistics are based on regions which include many ODAR (OHA) offices so your particular hearing office may be different but this should give you an idea of how long you have to wait.  If you are looking for how long it takes to get a decision from the time you request a hearing untill it is decided at your particular ODAR see "how long does it take".
