How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in Ohio? In Ohio, individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits typically undergo periodic reviews called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs). These reviews ensure that you continue to meet the SSA’s criteria for disability benefits. The review frequency depends on factors like the severity of your condition and medical evidence but usually occurs every few years. Knowing the review timeline helps you prepare the necessary documentation and maintain eligibility.

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 of Reviews

How often CDRs happen in Ohio depends on:

  • Severity of disability: More severe or terminal conditions may have less frequent reviews.
  • Medical improvement potential: Conditions expected to improve might be reviewed more frequently, typically every 3 to 7 years.
  • Age and work history: Different age groups and work credits can affect review intervals.
Types of CDRs

Ohio SSDI recipients may face varying review types:

  • Medical reviews: SSA evaluates current medical records to confirm ongoing disability.
  • Work activity checks: Examines if you've returned to substantial gainful activity.
  • Document requests: May require updated reports from your healthcare providers.
Notice of Review

You will be informed by SSA:

  • Written notification before the review begins.
  • Given a deadline to submit updated medical evidence.
  • Provided information on possible outcomes of the review.
Consequences of Review

Based on your review, SSA may:

  • Continue benefits if disability is still present.
  • Request additional medical evidence for further evaluation.
  • Terminate benefits if improvement is demonstrated or work activity is substantial.
How to Prepare

To ensure continued eligibility during reviews:

  • Keep all medical records current and accessible.
  • Maintain communication with your doctors and SSDI representative.
  • Submit requested documents promptly and completely.
