Is there any way to speed up any of this process?

No, in a majority of circumstances. However, in some cases, such as when a claimant is threatened with the prospect of being homeless, a claimant may claim that they have a “dire need” for their claim to be processed quickly. If the hearings office agrees that the need is severe enough, it will flag the claimant’s file for quick processing and scheduling. Also, a request for an On the Record Ruling speeds up the process because a hearing may not be necessary.
