ALABAMA DISABILITY JUDGES AND THEIR PAY RATES

Most Social Security Disability (SSDI) cases wind up before an administrative law judge, who will decide whether or not to approve and pay the claim.

The approval rate of north Alabama judges varies widely from judge to judge, as the following data shows:

ALJ Approval Rate

Digby, Patrick R. 31.83%

Green, Gloria W. 56.59%

Grimes, James N/Available

Lewis, Jason A. 52.44%

Richey, Mallette 38.30%

Weaver, Cynthia G. 17.17

Williams, Lori J. 36.43%

Wright, Douglas A. 73.56%

*Data from http://www.ssa.gov/appeals/DataSets/03_ALJ_Disposition_Data.html

The important thing is to be sure your case is prepared well and presented to the judge in the best manner possible.

Being properly represented is a huge factor in success of your appeal.

SOCIAL SECURITY PAY INCREASE FOR 2025

Social Security benefits will increase by 2.5 percent or an average of about $48 per month in 2025. The Social Security Administration announced the COLA increase on October 10, 2024 which will take effect in January, 2025. The Part B Medicare premium (the part you pay for Medicare) also increased from $174.20 for most beneficiaries to $185 per month. I find it interesting that the government increased the Medicare premium 5.9 percent for 2025 but only gave recipients a 2.5 percent increase in benefits.

YOUR CHILDREN MAY ALSO GET DISABILITY BENEFITS!

Social Security disability may replace some income for adults who become disabled due to a physical or mental impairment. It may also pay benefits to dependent children who are under 18 years old--or up to age 19 if they are still in high school. Dependent children are usually eligible to receive a benefit in addition to their parent who has become disabled. Disability has an impact on the entire family. Children continue to need food, clothing, education and medical/dental care. Dependent's benefits from Social Security can help cover these expenses for a disabled parent. If your disability claim is being handled by a professional--an advocate or attorney--he/she will be sure to protect your children's rights to benefits. If you are handling your own claim, be sure to notify Social Security that you have dependent children when you apply for benefits. When benefits are approved, contact your local Social Security field office (not the he...
