How often do I have to re-apply for disability benefits?

In California, how often a person must re-apply for disability benefits depends on the type of disability benefits they are receiving. If someone is receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, they should not need to re-apply for benefits, as long as their condition remains the same. If their condition has improved, it is their responsibility to notify the Social Security Administration of the change. For Supplemental Security Income (SSI), however, benefits must be renewed every year. When a person applies for SSI, they will be given a specific date on which they must reapply. This information is usually provided by the Social Security Administration or other agency that assisted with the original application process. In addition to the above, it is important to keep in mind that disability benefits are subject to change depending on the individual’s financial or medical situation. Therefore, it is important to regularly review any benefits received with a qualified professional and understand what may be required to continue to receive the benefits. This could include regularly submitting medical documentation of the disability or a financial review of the person’s situation.
