How Long do I Have to Wait to be Paid After the ALJ Hearing?
Waiting months for a disability hearing is bad enough, but I think waiting for a decision after the hearing is even worse! Most decisions are not made from the bench, therefore the applicant often does not know if they will receive benefits or not. Experienced lawyers can sometimes be able to read the judge’s body language, expressions and possibly their wording to have a good idea if the case has been won or lost, however, nothing is set in stone until the decision is written on paper and submitted to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
