I thought the idea was you were meant to move to find those jobs. Like if you can do a job that is entirely seated, like a some office jobs, they expect you to move to find them.

That's correct. The standard for other work is whether jobs exist in the national economy that an individual with the claimant's functional capacity can perform.

The Agency is doing what it can to help deal with the truly massive backlog, at least at the hearings level. They're pushing toward more centralized hearings and decision writing units, with stated goals of increasing efficiency and standardization of decisions. Unfortunately, initial and reconsideration determinations are made by State agencies that are occasionally furloughed despite the availability of funds.
