600 Days to Get a Disability Hearing

In today's Washington Post, a familiar story to those of us who represent people with disabilities: the Social Security Administration is underfunded, understaffed, and overworked. Congress has not given it the money it needs to do its job. The result: 986,000 people waiting for hearings to be scheduled and an average of 600 days from the time they asked for a hearing until the time they get it. Staggering numbers.
