United Spinal, along with numerous disability organizations, signed on to testimony discussing the following topics: Human Toll of the Hearing Backlog, SSA Needs Adequate Resources to Administer the Social Security Process and SSAs CARES Plan: More Must Be Done to Reduce Wait Times. The testimony concluded by saying: The number of people waiting for a hearing before an ALJ and the long waiting time is unacceptable. Claimants often experience incredible hardship during the delay in getting their claim decided - homelessness, bankruptcy, and sometimes death. SSA needs additional resources to be able to serve all its customers in a timely and accurate manner. The Task Force also urges SSA to take additional steps to ensure that eligible claims are awarded as early in the process as possible by improving the development of evidence earlier in the process and ensuring that claims that do not require a hearing to establish eligibility for benefits are processed without a hearing. | Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Education, Dept of,Federal Communications Commission (FCC),Food & Drug Administration (FDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),SENATE,Transportation, Dept of (DOT),Transportation Security Administration (TSA) | 75000 | 0 | 0 | 2017-10-18T14:57:06.627000-04:00 |
