How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in Tennessee? In Tennessee, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients undergo periodic review to verify ongoing eligibility. These reviews, known as Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs), occur based on the expected severity and stability of your condition. Typically, reviews take place every 3 to 7 years, but some cases might be reviewed sooner or less frequently. The frequency depends on your disability category and medical evidence provided to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
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.
Frequency Based on Condition Stability
Reviews are scheduled according to how likely your condition is to improve:
- Medical Improvement Expected: Reviews every 6 to 18 months.
- Possible Medical Improvement: Reviews every 3 years.
- Improvement Not Expected: Reviews every 5 to 7 years.
Notification of Review
The SSA will notify you via mail:
- Advance notice before your scheduled review date.
- Requests for updated medical records or information.
- Instructions on how to complete required forms.
Required Documentation
To maintain eligibility, you must provide:
- Recent medical evidence supporting your continued disability.
- Doctor’s reports and test results related to your condition.
- Updates on treatments and medications you are undergoing.
Consequences of Review Outcomes
Possible results of a CDR include:
