Video Hearing? No, Thank You!
Do you want a video hearing or an in-person hearing before the SSA judge?
The Social Security Administration is moving aggressively to have hearings before the SSA judge or Administrative Law Judge conducted by video teleconferencing – instead of an in-person hearing. This means your hearing could be scheduled before a judge from any part of the country.
However, a person seeking a hearing still has the right to opt-out of a video teleconference hearing and have it conducted in-person. Electing an in-person hearing may mean it will take longer for the hearing to be scheduled.
Regardless, it is our experience that an in-person hearing is better for the claimant for a variety of reasons.
The hearing is the best opportunity to present your case. Sometimes the best course of action to present that best case is to wait. We wait for all the medical records to come in from your all your doctors. Taking this delay in hearing could actually save time in lengthy appeals that are caused by incomplete records. Let us help you walk through this disability and hearing process.
