These disability judges have the final say over whose applications get approved and denied.

Since the judge has so much power, knowing a little about them could help your case. Compass Disability looked through every Social Security disability decision in 2022 and ran the numbers on each of the 1,300 judges to find their approval and denial rates.

All told, there were nearly 1,300 ALJs who heard disability benefit cases in 2022. They worked across 168 Social Security hearing offices and delivered about 322,000 total decisions, with an approval rate of just over 54%.

The approval rate for most judges was right around that average figure, but 123 judges approved 75% or more of their cases. On the flip side, there were 39 judges with an approval rate of 25% or less in 2022.

What does a disability judge do?

Administrative law judges make a decision on whether to approve or deny someone’s Social Security disability claim by considering all of the information in someone’s application file (medical information, work history, etc.) plus testimony from job experts ( vocational experts ) and possibly medical experts. This process is the same whether a person applies for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Making their case in front court for a judge may be a nerve-wracking experience for many, but this stage of the application process offers the highest chance of approval . More than half of all cases in front of a judge ended in approval in 2022 — the national average approval rate was 54%.

How to make a stronger case at a disability hearing

If you’re applying for SSDI or SSI, working with a disability lawyer can increase your chances of winning benefits. Lawyers know the disability process inside and out — they may also have a relationship with the judges in your local hearing office — so they know the best way to present your case to the SSA and to a judge.

Disability applicants who work with a lawyer are also three times more likely to win benefits compared to people who go through the process without a lawyer.

To learn more about whether a lawyer could improve your chances of winning benefits, start with this free disability benefits quiz . If we think a lawyer could help with your case, we can recommend a qualified lawyer near you.

Finding a matching is free, you don’t have to work with the lawyer if you don’t want to, and you never have to pay the lawyer anything unless you actually win your disability claim.

Disability judge approval rates in 2022

The table below lists all 1,288 administrative law judges who issued decisions in 2022, as well as their approval and denial rates. And while this ALJ disposition data is helpful for current and future cases, it’s important to remember having a certain judge doesn’t guarantee that an individual claim will end in approval or denial.

5 Signs That You Will be Approved for Disability

How Long Does It Take to Get Approved for Disability Benefits?

About Us Mission Careers For Clients My Account Help Center Articles Fields of Law Disability Benefits Workers' Compensation For Lawyers Our Firm Lawyer Portal At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.

There’s no disclaimer here: Compass Disability is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.

Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
