I've Been Scheduled For A Hearing, Can I Look Up The Judge's Decision Record?

Up until recently when Social Security scheduled an individual applying for Social Security Disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income for a hearing the claimant was informed who the Administrative Law Judge hearing their case would be.

Social Security's policy has now changed as of this month and they are no longer providing the name of the Administrative Law Judge until the day of the hearing.

However, even if you are not aware of the Judge's name before the hearing, since most judge's do not issue a decision the day of the hearing, this link may still be helpful in providing some history for each judge as to how they tend to decide cases.

The decisions included are from October 1, 2011 through November 25, 2011 and include:

• Judge's Name
• Hearing office the judge is located
• Total number of decisions
• Number of Fully favorable decisions
• Number of Partially favorable decisions
• Number of Denials

If you are applying for SSD or SSI and are at the hearing level, you should contact an experienced Social Security Disability attorney prior to the Administrative Law Hearing.
