Editorial: An Audit's Grim Findings - Editorial from the July 14, 2003 edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. On the SSD office:
The audit shows an office that seems downright dysfunctional. How else to explain cases that take not months, but years to process? Or administrative law judges who decide fewer cases than the judges in 20 other hearing offices in a six-state region - 1.53 per day in Milwaukee vs. an average of 2.07 in the others? Or employees who cannot identify their supervisors? Or error-filled monthly expenditure reports?

Sensitive Data In Disability Files Tossed - Social Security Admits Medical Evidence Had To Be Fished Out Of Bins - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Mary Zahn - 7/20/03 - Private contractors hired to ease disability claim backlogs at a Chicago regional office of the Social Security Administration threw out sensitive medical evidence belonging to at least 570 people, including 120 from Wisconsin, the Journal Sentinel has learned. The documents, key evidence for disabled applicants seeking federal aid, were unstapled and pitched into recycling bins by two contractors this spring, documents and interviews revealed. The Chicago regional Office of Hearings and Appeals monitors disability claims from six states, including Wisconsin. The private contractors were hired to organize medical records and mark exhibits in claimant files, which are used by administrative law judges who determine whether a person is too disabled to work.
