The current wait for a hearing at the Omaha ODAR is 473 days that has grown from 386 at this time last year. There was some hope last fall when five new judges were hired that the backlog would be positively impacted, however although the Judges are a welcome relief to this problem, of a year and a half to wait from application for disability benefits to a hearing with a judge, there still was a concern that even with the hard working staff at the Social Security Administration the backlog would take a while to be reversed.
The new proposed hiring freeze the backlog may continue to grow!
