What should I do after an Administrative Law Judge hearing?

  1. SUBMIT POST HEARING EVIDENCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WITH A WRITTEN BRIEF IDENTIFYING HOW THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS A FAVORABLE DECISION.  This will assist the ALJ in reviewing the records and appropriately focus attention on the information supporting your arguments, resulting in the issuance of a timely decision.

  2. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, YOUR ATTORNEY SHOULD SUBMIT FEE PETITIONS WITHIN 60 DAYS OF A DECISION OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER SERVICES HAVE BEEN TERMINATED OR WITHDRAWN. Submitting fee documents within this time frame will have significant impact on the time a representative waits for payment.  This reduces the number of follow ups necessary to determine if a fee petition is going to be submitted, allowing the ALJ to act on the fee authorization at an earlier date.  It reduces the likelihood that funds withheld for direct payment will be released to the claimant, and reduces the wait time if administrative review of an authorized fee is requested.
