Social Security Bad News

I’m sorry to report some bad news. The processing times at the Washington and Baltimore hearing offices have increased. Washington, which used to be in the top 20 hearing offices in the nation for processing time, has dropped to number 65. The average processing time is now 447 days. Baltimore now ranks at number 90, with an average processing time of 495 days. This news is certainly disappointing; especially in light of the Commissioner’s stated commitment to lessen the backlog.
