John A. Angello had been waiting for 21 months for his complaint against the Social Security Administration to move forward yet the case had seemingly stalled.<\/p>\n
Angello told the federal court yesterday that he has yet to be notified of any hearing in connection with his complaint over the alleged improper calculation of his retirement benefits, among other claims. <\/p>\n
Angello said these \u201cegregious delays\u201d are \u201cdue to a forced and oppressive SSA appeal process\u201d and are unjustifiable.<\/p>\n
The federal court earlier dismissed Angello\u2019s lawsuit against acting SSA Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin. In an order in September 2016, Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona of the U.S. District Court for the NMI granted Colvin\u2019s motion to dismiss Angello\u2019s suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Manglona had also denied Angello\u2019s motion to stay proceedings and directed the court\u2019s clerk to close the case.<\/p>\n
Angello is saying now that he would feel a sense of remissness to not notify the court of SSA\u2019s continued \u201cdilatory attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her earlier dismissal of Angello\u2019s case, Manglona had said the district court lacks jurisdiction to review SSA\u2019s nonfinal actions.<\/p>\n
Manglona said hopefully, the U.S. government\u2019s counsel will continue to offer its assistance to Angello in communicating with the Hearing Office, and he will get a hearing within a reasonable time, taking into account that his is not the only review the Hearing Office has to schedule. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
