Social Security Administration gives claimants 4 options to attend a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. 1. In person (client, attorney, judge appear at the local hearing office. 2. Online Video (client, attorney, judge appear via Microsoft Teams) 3. Video Teleconference (client, attorney appear at local hearing office and usually an out of state judge appears via video) and 4. Telephone (client, attorney and judge attend the hearing on the telephone).
For my clients, I recommend in-person or online video hearings. In-person hearings are best if my client has obvious, visible physical disabilities (i.e. uses a cane or walker). Online videos are best for clients who may suffer with mental health issues like anxiety or depression and prefer not to be in the public or for clients who cannot drive.
Either way, we will help you decide which option is best for you.
