More Furloughs In California

The Associated Press reports that California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered a new round of furloughs for state workers until the legislature passes a budget. Apparently, this includes employees of the state Disability Determination Service (DDS) that makes initial and reconsideration determinations on Social Security disability claims.

State workers had already been furloughed a total of 46 days over the last year under a previous furlough order. That order had just ended in June.

We had no return activity from DDS in the last three days then a whole rush of cases this afternoon. I think they were furloughed for three days this week.
