Processing Time for Indianapolis Social Security Disability Hearings Falls Again!

The processing time for Indianapolis Social Security Disability Hearings at the Office of Adjudication and Review (ODAR) has fallen again. As reported elsewhere on this site, in November 2009, the number of days from the filing of a Request for Hearing until the case was completed at the hearing site averaged 579 days. In April of 2009, it was 738 days and in June of 2008 it was 896 days. As of March 26, 2010, the number of days from the Request for Hearing for average processing at the Indianapolis ODAR was 534 days. The Indianapolis office now ranks 130 out of 144 hearing offices. Processing time for Evansville Indiana (rank 86) is now at 460 days and Ft. Wayne Indiana (ranked 115) is at 509 days.

If you check in the archives of this site  for the other postings for processing time, you will be able to see the other rankings for past times. Indianapolis has improved so that it no longer hovers in last or next to last place, and it has not for many months now.
