I won't be shocked if reforms come at some point. I tend to think they'll push to eliminate the GRID Rules, rather than decreasing benefits for current beneficiaries.

You're also not considering the fact that the work done developing the case file prior to the hearing is necessary for the ALJs to make their determinations. |

The reconsideration step has been eliminated in some states and puts more burden upon and backlogs ALJ's. Some cases could have been decided at the reconsideration phase but go straight from initial denial to an ALJ in areas where this step has been eliminated. This adds to the workload of the ALJ's. I would be curious to know why this step was eliminated in some areas and not others. |

In my opinion, the SSDI process is anything BUT rubber stamp. I see NO rubber stamp in ANY steps in the process. Each and every case is decided upon its merits and individually.

If outlier ALJ's were to be terminated, the ones that are approving too a high percentage of applicants would also be fired, not just the ones that have a low approval rating.

Check out Alaska or Montana, you may think differently. There's a judge in Montana with a zero percent approval rating.

These statistics show the lowest ALJ approval rating in Montana was 22% and the ALJ only disposed of 18 cases, in 2013. http://www.ssdfacts.com/montana |
