A person who has sought and failed to obtain disability benefits from the Social Security Administration ("the agency") can appeal the agency's decision to a federal district court. In 2015, nearly 20,000 such appeals were filed ... . The adjudication of disability claims within the agency has received relentless attention from Congress, government inspectors general, academic commentators, and others. Social security litigation in the federal courts has not weathered the same scrutiny. This report, prepared for the Administrative Conference of the United States, fills this gap. It provides a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study of social security disability benefits litigation.
