How long does the Social Security Disability claim process take?
We recognize that the application process for Social Security Disability can be long and frustrating. Typically it takes three to four months to get a decision on the initial claim. If denied, it often takes another three to four months to get a decision on the request for reconsideration. If denied on reconsideration, you then must file a request for hearing. It currently takes about twelve months to get a hearing. Be mindful of the specified deadlines to appeal a Social Security Administration decision. Appeals generally must be filed within 60 days.
