I had a hearing this way in August of 2007, Crazy Sunshine described it pretty much as it is. I received a bench decision that day.
This is a way that you can get a hearing quicker thru SS. I received a letter explaining it and could wait on a judge in my area if I wanted - although I was told by my attorney that it could take up to a year if I chose to wait.
Social Security is just sending the area of the country that have back logs waiting on hearings to other parts of the country that aren't as backed up.
The hearing is no different than what it would be if you were face to face, it is the same hearing process just on television per se.
