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.
