The Social Security Administration has released its quarterly report on the disability hearings backlog, and while the local office continues to make headway in reducing the overall backlog for the state, there is still a long way to go.
The Colorado Hearing Offices have hired more staff, and are in the midst of testing a new standardized electronic business process at two hearing offices that it expects will make significant inroads into reducing the backlog.
