Why The Overtime?

     Below is the recently released stat sheet concerning operations at Social Security's Office of Hearings Operations (OHO).

    Why is OHO getting any overtime? These funds are urgently needed for other parts of the agency. 59,000 hours in April?

Backlog Improvement At OHO

    Dispositions continue to outpace receipts at Social Security's Office of Hearings Operations (OHO), i.e.,  it's taking less time to get a hearing on a disability claim. The biggest reason is that cases are hung up at lower levels of review where backlogs are burgeoning. One day that dam will burst and OHO will be inundated.

No Attorney Fee Numbers Released In A Year

     I used to post newly released numbers on payments of fees to attorneys and others for representing Social Security claimants. Something like a year ago I posted that the agency hadn't released any new numbers in months. In an apparent response, Social Security finally updated the numbers on their website. However, Social Security hasn't updated its numbers since then. No new numbers on fee payments have been posted since February 2023.

    There really is interest in these numbers. I'm sure the agency hasn't stopped collecting the data. It may well be posted on Social Security's intranet. Please release the data to the public.
