How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in New York? In New York, the Social Security Administration regularly conducts Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) to determine if you still qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Reviews typically happen every few years, but the timeline depends on the nature of your disability and medical improvement expectations. Frequency of reviews can vary from once a year to once every seven years based on your medical condition and case specifics. It is important to provide updated medical evidence during these reviews to maintain your benefits uninterrupted.
Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.
Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Review Frequency Depends on Medical Condition
Social Security will:
- Schedule reviews more often if your condition is expected to improve.
- Space out reviews longer if your disability is permanent or unlikely to change.
Typical Review Intervals
Common timelines include:
- Every 3 to 7 years for stable or permanent disabilities.
- Annual reviews for conditions with potential for medical improvement.
Notification Process
Before a CDR:
- The SSA sends a review notice explaining required documents and deadlines.
- You must respond promptly with current medical evidence.
Types of Reviews
Includes:
