Social Security Fast-Track Disability

The Social Security Administration  announced by the press release titled Social Security Fast-Track Disability Processes Get Even Faster that the administration will be implementing new rules to reduce the time it takes for them to make disability determinations for the "most severe disabilities."

Hopefully you or the one you love will receive a quick decision granting disability benefits;  however, if you're reading this blog post, it's likely that the administration didn't find your disability to be among the most severe.  As I stated in my blog post Social Security Disability - Appeal, the quicker you appeal a decision denying you benefits, the quicker you're likely to get a hearing.

If you or someone you love was denied Social Security Disability or Supplemental Security Income, give me a call.

Thanks for reading,
Eric

What is the time table in which these "quick decisions" will be made regarding social security disability? I have been to a couple websites that haven't told me much, but http://www.ultimatedisabilityguide.com was quite helpful.

Thanks for reading, Jack. Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question. Because the fast-track determination relates to what the SSA considers the most severe impairments, I just don't see that population of folks in the appeal process.

I wish you the best and thanks again for reading,
Eric
