Once a hearing has been held, what happens next?
• The Administrative Law Judge will send a report to the Agency within 90 days of the hearing. • If the issue in the case is medical, the case goes back to the Medical Board for their review of the Administrative Law Judges report. • If the issue in the case is legal, then the case moves to the Board of Trustees for review. If the claim is denied after the administrative hearing, the claimant may appeal the case to the Circuit Court. • How long does the disability process take? There is no standard time since each disability claim is different. The length of time is determined by the complexity of your claim, the completeness of the medical documentation submitted, and whether your claim is for ordinary or accidental disability. Ordinary disability cases can take anywhere from 3 to 4 months. Accidental disability applications can take a little longer, since it is necessary to make a determination on the cause of the disability as well as if you are disabled. Requests for Reconsideratio
