Time Frame On New ALJs

In his testimony today, Commissioner Astrue said that it would be late October of this year before a new register will be available from which Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) could be hired and that it would take four months thereafter to hire more ALJs. It would then take time to train them. Realistically, it will be a year or more from now before more ALJs are holding hearings at Social Security.
