I am currently a state employee who 'defends' against disability claims so my days are spent reading medical records, participating in hearings and writing briefs. I think the ALJ position will be a seamless transition but with way more pay! I do have a question for all you current ALJs, our Hearing Officers conduct hearings and write their own opinions but from what I have been reading on other threads, it seems like the SSA ALJ only conducts the hearing, presumably rules on procedural issues, but a staff attorney actually writes the opinion. Is that correct? If so, sheesh that will be like falling off a log for me as I have done this for 17 years Could you give me a "day in the life?" Thanks much ;D Here's some light weekend reading you might be interested in. The Hallex. When I first heard the name, I thought it sounded like some long lost ancient volume Indiana Jones might be looking for. www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/hallex/hallex.html
