• As much as Farmer & Wright would have liked an immediate decision, the majority of Hearings end without a decision from the Judge.
• After the Hearing, it takes approximately 90 days (on average) to receive notification of the decision.
• There is nothing any law firm can do that speeds up the process.
• There is NO set time for the Judge’s to get the decisions out. Judges are not required to respond within a specific deadline.
• If they have received a decision, Farmer & Wright should receive our copy as well.

If you receive an unfavorable decision

If you receive an Unfavorable Decision, Farmer & Wright will review the decision when we receive it.  While this is not the result we wanted, we are going to be considering all options.   We will be in contact with you to let you know the next steps.

If you receive a favorable decision

If you receive a  Favorable Decision, this is GREAT news.  There are still a few more steps before you receiving monthly benefits.  Farmer & Wright will be in contact with you on the process of obtaining your back pay and monthly benefits.

• If SSA calls, the client needs to answer their questions so that SSA can get their payments set up and going.
