Ohio Social Security Disability Applicants Face Longest Wait in USA

An Ohio Social Security Attorney Can Help You With Your Claim

Ohioans trying to obtain Social Security disability benefits are faced with a formidable obstacle: the worst hearings backlog in the country, a new study says.

The Ohio wait time is the longest in the country, although the state's backlog isn't much more than Michigan's at 576 days and Minnesota's at 566 days, according to the study by benefits consultant Allsup, an Illinois-based company.

The Social Security Administration estimates it will receive 3.3 million disability claims this year, up 700,000 from 2009. The increased work loads also make it difficult to eat into the backlog, the agency says.
