Here, we do hear within a certain period of time (meaning I think the SSA has to respond within a time limit....others here might chip in with that answer) But, so often, that news brings a rejection, so then you have to start the time consuming process of the reconsideration and appeals....an all of that takes time to process. In some states, the time can be even longer.
It's been awhile for me.....but I recall getting my first rejection fairly soon after my application. The entire process took 3 years for approval....and I had been disabled and on WC for over a year before I even applied.
Can you get legal assistance to help with the process if you are initially rejected ? I don't know how it works 'up there'
