HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SCHEDULE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY HEARING?
Average hearing office processing times in Mobile, Alabama; Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and Jacksonville, Florida
The most recent average processing times for Social Security hearing offices are now available. Our firm handles cases in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, and these different areas have slightly different procedural rules and processing times.
In the Mobile, Alabama hearing office, the average time between when an appeal is filed and when a written decision is made is 473 days, or 1 year and 3 months. Of course, this is only an average time. For various reasons, some cases are handled more quickly or take additional time, but most claimants who are served by the Mobile office can expect to wait approximately 1 year and 3 months to receive a decision on their appealed claim.
In Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the average processing time is 393 days, or 1 year and 1 month. In Jacksonville, Florida, the average time is 451 days, or 1 year and 2 months.
In Alabama, a claimant can file a Request for Hearing (that is, a request that their case be heard by an Administrative Law Judge) immediately upon receiving a denial of their initial claim, thus skipping the Reconsideration step. As a result, although the processing times in Hattiesburg and Jacksonville are slightly shorter than that of Mobile, a case in Florida or Mississippi may actually take longer because a claimant loses an additional 2 to 3 months at the Reconsideration step.
