how long did you work at the huntington office? >> from 2001-2007. >> you were a master docket clerk? >> for the latter half of my employment but i initially was a senior technician. >> okay. were cases the sign only by the master docket clerk, or were judges allowed to assign cases themselves the? at that time the master docket clerk worse build one assigning cases unless of course something was brought to attention by supervisor and then the supervisor would assign a traditionally it was a master docket clerk. >> the reason they didn't want judges assigning cases on the master docket clerk? >> to avoid judge shopping or favoritism. >> once a case was assigned to judge was it typical for the case to then be reassigned to another judge? >> it was not supposed be assigned to another judge. >> you talk about some the problems you had when judge daugherty was going into the computer system, see pms, and assign himself cases. that was some of your conflict that you are supposed to support over that really was not your fault. is that the

why the huntington management, this is a question that needs to be answered. and we approve the purchase and said that i hadn't even been considered. this is a judge that says it is not acceptable. including laws and regulations updated that can be governed at social security bill disability programs and in my mind they broke all agency rules. but attorneys using these documents to provide bogus medical evidence is not limited to huntington, west virginia. his laughter, the report found the same thing happened in three other officers. i'll end by noting that congress continues to be the problem with a clock ticking on the agency trust fund. some refuse to acknowledge that the disability programs are broken and in dire need of significant oversight and people who are truly disabled will pay the price of our dithering. one simple reform would make a big difference come including professional's with the social security administration and ultimately what those made by the alj. this would bring a needed balance for hearings and decisions at the level of appeal, whic

in the huntington west virginia office. describes how one lawyer, several judges, and others exploited the program for their own personal benefit. together, they moved hundreds of claimants onto the disability rolls based on manufacture evidence and boilerplate decisions. as a result, they some millions of dollars flow, and they had bad behavior ignored. at the center of this miss, there was a judge. 2010, the last full year he decided cases, he was the third highest producing out of more than 1600. he decided 1375 cases and awarded benefits and 1371. 99.7%.oval rate of he denied only four cases. he was outgunned only by one in georgia who decided 3200 caret -- cases, and one in harrisburg, pennsylvania, and many questioned how this is possible and when i asked how he was deciding such a high volume of cases, he said, you are just going to have to learn which corners to cut. judge was found that the got his cases from one area. a self-described multimillionaire. his practice focused solely on those seeking social security di

was judge daugherty something of a rainmaker for the huntington office? >> i see your analogy. let me try and speak let me just ask, is there something to say that but for his performance in the moving all these cases more than twice the national average, even though 99.5% in one direction, but for that, moving that many cases that fast, is it likely that the huntington office would not have seen the recognition that it did? >> if judge daugherty had only done the 500 cases a year that they have asked a judge to do, except for two or three years, the huntington office would have met all of its performance goals. so during one point of time, it was necessary that those cases get out so that the goals would be met. most of the other times if you just done the normal amount that any of us did, we still would've reached our performance goals. >> but for those three or four years when his throughput make a difference, did that trigger directly or indirectly the performance award? >> the monetary awards? i don't believe so. >> all right. all right, senator levin, i'm going and just a

in fact, i was the one that replaced him in huntington. we knew each other. >> it's an e-mail from him to you. the subject is "heard about this? ". only three words in the message to you that says: shame on you. shame on you with an explanation point. and your response about minute later, it looks like, to the judge is what can i say? judicial independence. >> yes, sir. for a person -- for a judge that operates, serves, not for your but you're this person's leader. and for you to say in response to the judge shame on you for you to say what can i say judicial independence -- i i can see where judicial independence is important. i think we agree on that. but not when the numbers are like this. 99.5% -- >> yes. >> of the cases that come before the judge is not hear to have been approved. many for the same lawyer and for you to say: what can i say? judicial independence. very disappointing. very disappointing. judge, let me turn dr. coburn. >> mr. chairman, i'm flabbergasted at what we've heard. i'm not a lawyer, judge, so my deference is to y

this afternoon we're going to focus on the findings of the two-year investigation into the huntington west virginia social studies office disability adjudication review, specifically the investigative report we are releasing in details how one lawyer, one judge and a group of doctors financially benefited by working together to manufacture bogus, fraudulent medical evidence toward disability benefits to over 1800 people. i'd like to thank my chairman, tom carper, and the chairme chad ranking member of the permanent subcommittee on investigations, senators levin and mccain for the support and the hard work on this investigation. without the help this hearing would not be possible. but before we get into the findings of our investigation i want to extend a thank you to you for courageous ladies sitting in front of us at this time. republics only survive when courage is demonstrated on the basis of character, sound morals, integrity and honor. and each of them have demonstrated that to this committee, the investigators and i think the public will see that as their stories are told to the

people work inny the social security office in huntington? >> at one time i think we had about 60. >> at that office, maybe in the law office, other people had to know something was going on. >> absolutely. before of you have actually and areup shown courage here today. it sounds like you have been through a very difficult time. exactly what was it that compelled you to stand up and somebodyis wrong than needs to say and do something? what compels you to do this? i am not really sure. i probably would have been too scared to do it myself. anotherly spoke to in the area about what was going on. he contacted someone for me. that made it a little easier for me to be able to do. >> thank you. >> what gave you the courage to do it? >> melinda had taken the first step toward speak to someone about the problems within the office. i would approach to answer and give my insight to things involved at the law firm. question.ot any >> he cooperated with whom? >> it was the staff here. the subcommittee. .hen also the oig >> same question. >> i do not reall
