I do not. I think that the ALJs are happy not to see our clients in their hearing rooms. I think they are getting used to telephone hearings and they like them. I have talked to several other experienced attorneys and they agree. SSA is talking about video hearings, and I guess that will happen. But now that we have acquiesced to telephone hearings I don’t think we will see live hearings again.

An ALJ in Texas told me it would be:

- The client coming in to the office
The attorney coming into to office
-the Contract hearing reporter

ALJ will be on a screen just like pre COVID video hearings. VEs and MEs will be voice only.

So... Everything that makes it harder far the client, no upside for them at all.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Is anyone back to in-person administrative hearings? I recently did an in-person VA disability hearing (VLJ was by video but my client and I went to the regional office for the hearing). Seems like SSA is slowly moving toward in-person again. I’m told July will have in-person OHO hearings locally.
