For people applying for Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Social Security Insurance (SSI) in Florida, it is important to know the locations and contact information for the local Office of Hearings Operations (OHO). These hearing offices are crucial for SSDI and SSI applicants whose initial claims and reconsideration requests have been denied, as they host hearings before Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) – the second level of appeal. When visiting an OHO office, expect security screening, a check-in process, and a waiting period before your hearing. The hearing itself typically lasts about an hour, during which the ALJ will ask questions about your medical condition, work history, and daily activities. Arrive at least 30 minutes early, dress neatly, and be prepared to explain how your disability affects your ability to work. Of course, it is important to remember that a visit to these hearing offices can be potentially avoided by opting for an online hearing instead. At Disability Advocates Group Florida, we understand the importance of being prepared for your hearing and are here to guide you through this critical stage of your disability claim.
