SSA is moving towards electronic files, meaning that we get CD's instead of 3 inch thick paper files. Also, SSA is using video equipment to schedule hearings with out of state judges. While I'd rather have a judge live and in person, anything is better than waiting 3 years. I have railed against the delays for years - at least SSA is now trying to do something positive.
