Are you one of the nearly 2 million Americans waiting to find out if you will qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?
The commissioner of Social Security, Michale Astrue, says the wait time is unacceptable. He has had some success in reducing the backlog, but more cases related to the economic recession threaten to overrun the system.
The Associated Press reports it is expected that 3.3 million people will apply for benefits this year. Nearly two thirds of those claims will be denied by state agencies. At that time, individuals can go through the appeal process, which is what can take up to two years.
Astrue’s goal is to clear the appeals backlog by 2013.

The Journal Gazette reports that Indiana residents applying for social security disability may have a long wait in getting their claims filed. Indiana ranks fifth in longest wait time for disability claims to go before an administrative law judge. The national average is 14 months, and the Indiana average is 17 months.
These results were released in a report by Allsup, a private company that helps people file their disability claims. The report also indicates the wait time has decreased over the past few years, and Terre Haute attorney Anthony Tanoos agrees. This may be due to the additional judges and support staff the Social Security administration added in Indiana last year, which has historically had long wait times.
Social Security Disability Insurance pays benefits if you become disabled and have worked long enough and paid into the Social Security system. The process sounds overwhelming, which is why many people give up without receiving their benefits.
