Why is no one talking about the threat of a RIF? The ALJ attrition rate is being far outpaced by backlog reduction.
As of late, the backlog reduction predictions have been spot on. I guarantee that OHO hits the 591k backlog target for FY2019. Next fiscal year, ALJs will not be able to hit 500 dispositions each with the current pending amount.
maybe then the cases will get the attn. they deserve
Immigration, here we come
Immigration can do quite a few hearings a day by remote, they wont even have to transfer ALJs.
Also, one of the reasons recipts are down at the Hearing level is because 9 states are now recon.
Several prototype states will now be instituting reconsideration on January 1, 2019: California (Los Angeles North and Los Angeles West), Colorado, Louisiana, New Hampshire and New York. This means that for any case in which an initial denial is issued on or after January 1, 2019, in those states, the next level of appeal is to file a request for reconsideration, not a request for an ALJ hearing.
Reconsideration is scheduled to be reinstituted in Pennsylvania on April 1, 2019. Alabama and Michigan are scheduled to start reconsideration on October 1, 2019; Missouri on January 1, 2020; and Alaska on March 1, 2020.
