Q&A: Social Security Disability Today features Attorney Anthony Reeves, Esq. explaining what really happens after your Social Security Disability hearing ends.
You’ve testified before an Administrative Law Judge, the experts have spoken, and now the waiting begins. What happens behind the scenes while you wait for your decision? How long does it take — and what should you expect next?
In this episode, Anthony breaks down:

• Why the judge’s estimated timeline is just an approximation
• What happens if the judge requests additional medical evidence
• How your representative can track your case status
• What each post-hearing status means (Post, Post Hearing Review, Pending Decision Writer, Decision Writer)
• Why patience is essential — and why you shouldn’t assume the timing reflects your outcome
• The importance of the written decision for both payment and appeal rights

This timeless discussion still applies today — giving listeners a clear understanding of how the disability process works once the hearing is over.
