How often are Social Security disability benefits reviewed?

In California, Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits are reviewed regularly. The Social Security Administration typically reviews every three to seven years, depending on the person’s medical condition. Regular reviews are conducted to ensure that the beneficiary still has a disability preventing them from doing any substantial gainful activity. If the beneficiary’s condition has improved and they can work, the Social Security Administration may need to re-evaluate their SSD eligibility. The Social Security Administration may also conduct a “continuing disability review” to determine if the person’s condition has worsened and affected their ability to continue receiving benefits. Additionally, the Social Security Administration reviews a recipient’s income and resources every year to make sure that they still qualify for benefits. It is important to keep in mind that individuals must cooperate with all reviews and continue to provide evidence to support their disability status. Failure to do so can result in loss of benefits, or a denial of new benefits. If you have any questions or need assistance with your ongoing SSD benefits review, contact a qualified California Social Security Disability lawyer. They can provide advice and represent you in the case of an appeals hearing.
