Submit Your Continuing Disability Review Report Online with Ease

Montgomery: If you’re getting Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), listen up! The law says they need to check in on you to make sure you still have a condition that keeps you from working. This check is called a Continuing Disability Review.

You’ll get a notice when it’s time for your review, and they’ll keep you updated on your benefits. How often they check depends on whether your condition might get better.

Typically, they’ll review your case within 6 to 18 months if they think you might improve. If there’s a chance of improvement, they’ll check every three years. If they don’t expect any change, it’ll be every seven years.

Good news! If you’re getting disability benefits, you can fill out and submit the Medical Continuing Disability Review Report (SSA-454) online. This option is for adults on SSDI, SSI, or both, who don’t have a representative payee. Just log into your personal my Social Security account and choose “Complete Your Continuing Disability Review.” If you don’t have an account yet, head over to www.ssa.gov/myaccount to set one up.

No account? No problem! You can still print the SSA-454 form from www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-454-bk.pdf and either mail it or take it to your local Social Security office.

Make sure to pass this info along to friends or family who might need it.
