Social Security Disability in Utah Includes Lawyers, How To Apply, Denial Rates, How Long It Takes.  

On this page you will find information on Social Security Disability in Utah.  I will tell you how to apply, how long it takes to get a decision at the hearing level, and what the average denial rate at application and reconsideration is for the year 2006.  I will also have a way to help you find a Lawyer for your SSDI or SSI claim in UT.

The contents of this page do not provide information on how to win your claim.  Social Security's rules and regulations are the same in every state and this subject is explained in the main part of my site.

To apply for SSDI or SSI in UT you can call 1-800-772-1213 and make an appointment at your local SSA office.  If you are applying for SSDI you have a few more options.  You can apply on-line at the SSA website.  You can also contact a lawyer to help you apply.  If you are looking for more information on the application process see my page called "application".

The denial rate at application for the year 2006 in Utah was 64.7%.  At reconsideration it was 88.4%.

I am frequently asked how long it takes to get a decision.  At application and reconsideration it usually takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months for each stage and sometimes longer.  SSA has been eliminating the reconsideration stage in many states and soon will eliminate it in every state.

At the hearing stage it is quite a bit longer.  The average processing time of a case at the Salt Lake City ODAR office is 418 days.

Below you will find the address of the ODAR that hears cases in UT.  The location of the local SSA offices are listed below the ODAR address.
