The Social Security Admin. (SSA) has experienced processing delays and significant backlogs of disability claims at the hearings level. In May 2007, SSA began implementing a plan for eliminating the hearings backlog entitled Summary of Initiatives to Eliminate the SSA Hearings Backlog (the Plan). This report: (1) examined the Plan's potential to eliminate the hearings-level backlog; (2) determined the extent to which the Plan included components of sound planning; and (3) identified potential unintended effects of the Plan on hearings-level operations and other aspects of the disability process. This report analyzed SSA data, conducted a risk analysis, assessed the Plan and its update, interviewed SSA officials, and conducted site visits. Illus.
