On August 23, 2011, I am presenting lectures to other practicing Social Security attorneys at a Seminar in Tampa, titled "Social Security Basics". It is always an honor to get invited to speak at continuing education events.
For lawyers that are considering expanding their practices to include Social Security Disability, this will be a good introductory seminar. Please consider signing up. I do not get any part of your registration fee, nor do I get paid. I simply hope that more attorneys will consider getting into this area of the law to help people seeking disability benefits.

Social Security's Florida Hearing Offices (ODARs) Continue to Experience Severe Wait Times for Hearings
How long will you wait for a hearing in your Social Security Disability or SSI claim in Florida? Statistics released by the Social Security Administration on April 29, 2011 show that you can still expect at least a year waiting time at most of its Offices of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR).
Out of 157 ODARs in the United States, Florida's hearing offices had waiting times ranging from 334 days to 414 days to get a hearing after a Request for Hearing is filed. How long you will wait depends on where you live. Here are the waiting times and the national rank of each of Florida's ODARs:
Orlando - 63rd out of 157 ODARs - 334 days
Tampa - 75th out of 157 ODARs - 343 days
Ft. Lauderdale - 93rd out of 157 ODARs - 368 days
Tallahassee - 114th out of 157 ODARs- 395 days
Ft. Myers - 119th out of 157 ODARs- 400 days
St. Petersburg - 119th out of 157 ODARs - 400 days
Miami - 127th out of 157 ODARs - 414 days
Social Security's statistics show you will do better with an an attorney representing you at a hearing. I strongly recommend that you call a Florida Social Security Disability attorney t
o help you with your claim.

Veterans Groups Release Report on Impact of Social Security on Veterans
Nine veterans organizations have released a report titled, "Social Security: Serving Those Who Serve Our Nation." The report was created to address efforts by some in Congress who want to cut Social Security benefits. Among the information in the report is the following:
"Most of the more than 4,000 children who lost a parent since the beginning of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars now receive Social Security survivors’ benefits. More than 771,000 veterans receive Social Security disability benefits. Social Security currently pays benefits to over 9 million veterans—about 4 in 10 veterans today—and the vast majority of veterans will become Social Security beneficiaries in the future."
Click here for a full copy of the report.
