The Social Security Administration has hearing offices in many locations and states. These offices are listed on the Social Security website. Additionally, the SSA provides video hearings for people in more remote locations. If that isn’t an option, then you can have a phone hearing instead. It is your right to have a hearing with a Judge.
Additionally, you can receive money from the SSA for travel costs For example, if you have to travel more than 75 miles to a hearing site, then the SSA will send you a check to cover travel costs. For example, the check will pay for gas. Or, it will pay you a certain amount of money for every mile that you travel by car. However, if you hire us to represent you, then you do not need to pay for our travel costs.
HOW TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL HEARING OFFICES
If you have already have had a hearing and you need to be paid for your travel costs, then contact your local hearing office. They will give you the paperwork that you need to fill out and submit. If you need to contact your local hearing office for any reason, then here is a list of offices in your state:
- California Hearing Offices
- Colorado Hearing Offices
- Idaho Hearing Offices
- Nevada Hearing Offices
- Utah Hearing Offices
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY HEARING
Your hearing will be held at the Office of Hearing Operations (“OHO”). You will receive notice of the time and place of the hearing about 30 days prior to the hearing. The judge will ask you questions. You are the main witness. The point of the hearing is for you to testify about your mental and physical symptoms and how they keep you from working.
The hearing is private. The court room is closed to the public. The only people who can come into your hearing, besides you, are the Judge and your attorney. After that, the judge may call a Medical Expert (“ME”), and a Vocational Expert (“VE”). There is also a court reporter recording the hearing. Learn information about what to expect at your hearing.
Most of the time, you will be the only witness at your court hearing. We do not usually call witnesses, like family members, to testify. We don’t do this because the ALJ will not give weight to the testimony of a family member. The reason for this is your family has an interest in you winning benefits.
CAN A FAMILY MEMBER TESTIFY AT THE SSA HEARING?
If we do call a family member to testify, it is usually because you have a mental condition that makes is hard for you to testify. Mental conditions like schizophrenia can cause memory issues that make it difficult to testify. If you have delusions or hallucinations, then sometimes it is better for a family member to offer testimony. Your lawyer can guide you in this decision.
Likewise, if you have a seizure disorder, then sometimes it is hard to testify about them. Because it is hard to testify about an event you can’t remember. You may not know what is happening when you are having a seizure. However, you probably remember how you feel after a seizure. So, you can testify about that.
But a family member could testify about what happens to you during a seizure. They can talk about how long your seizures last. Also, they could testify if you fall down or bite your tongue during a seizure. Seizures are a good example of how family testimony can be useful and help you win your SSA benefits.
