HOW LONG DOES THE SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY PROCESS TAKE?

A: The social security disability process is lengthy one.  While each case is different, you can expect the initial application stage to take 3-5 months before you get a decision.  If your application is denied, you can request a hearing to be heard in front of an administration law judge.  This is referred to as the hearing level.  It can take an additional 9-20 months to get the hearing, depending on where you live. 

While the disability process can be a lengthy one and you may not get social security disability benefits the first time you go through the process, it is important for you to be as patient and persistent as possible.  Don't give up!
