Social Security Disability in New York and SSI in NY.

On this page I provide some information on Social Security Disability and SSI in New York.  You will find information on how and were to apply in NY for SSDI and SSI.  I will also provide the addresses of the New York OHA (now ODAR) offices.  These are the places were Social Security Disability hearings in NY are held.  I will also give the location of some of the Local Social Security Offices around the state.  How Social Security determines if you are disabled is the same in every state so make sure to read the rest of my site as well.  If you have decided you want a New York Social Security Disability Lawyer or just want a free consultation please consider us.  I wrote this entire website and I have handled thousands of claims.  My main office is in NJ but I have a satellite office in Manhattan for your convenience.  My phone number is 1-877-527-5529

The denial rate at application in NY is 57%.  The denial rate at reconsideration is 82.2%.  Source: FY 2006 DIODS EXTRACT.
According to the recently released state agency operations report prepared on December 12, 2008 44.3% of the cases were approved at application and 51.2% of the cases where won at reconsideration. These statistics at reconsideration are probably not as reliable since they no longer have the reconsideration stage in New York so I do not know how many cases were actually reviewed at this stage that no longer exists. Normally for states that have this stage the approval rate is somewhere between 10 and 20%. In New York, the claim goes directly from application to the hearing stage.

The processing times in days on average for year 2009 for the hearing stage at the different ODARs is as follows:  New York 471, Jericho 349, Syracuse 593, Albany 584, Queens 445 and Bronx 560, White Plains 430, Buffalo 585, Rochester 466 and Brooklyn is 277 days.  These numbers change from year to year but should give you some idea of how long you will have to wait to get a SSD or SSI decision in NY after you request a hearing.
