If you’re receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in Nebraska, your case will be reviewed periodically to ensure you still meet the medical and financial eligibility requirements. This process is called a Continuing Disability Review (CDR), and how often it happens depends on your specific condition and the likelihood of improvement.
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 SSDI Reviews
The Social Security Administration (SSA) assigns a medical review category to each case:
- Medical Improvement Expected (MIE): Reviewed every 6–18 months
- Medical Improvement Possible (MIP): Reviewed every 3 years
- Medical Improvement Not Expected (MINE): Reviewed every 5–7 years
If your health improves significantly or you start working above a certain income level, your SSDI benefits may be reduced or stopped after a review.
What Happens During a Review?
A CDR may involve:
- A questionnaire about your medical treatment, condition, and daily activities
- Requests for updated medical records from your doctors
- Possibly a consultative exam if there’s not enough evidence
You’ll be notified by mail when your review is due. It’s important to respond promptly and provide the requested documentation.
What Can Trigger a Review?
In addition to scheduled reviews, your SSDI case might be reviewed sooner if:
- You report that your condition has improved
- You return to work or earn more income
- Medical evidence suggests you're no longer disabled
- A tip or report is submitted to SSA
Keeping SSA informed of changes in your health, employment, or living situation is essential.
Tips to Stay Prepared
- Keep medical appointments regularly and follow treatment plans
- Maintain accurate medical records and documentation
- Report any work activity or changes in your condition
- Be honest and thorough when filling out SSA forms
