The Social Security Administration (SSA) requires beneficiaries meet certain requirements to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits—and typically review claims every 3-4 years to determine if an applicant’s condition has improved. Should the SSA determine a recipient medically improved and is no longer disabled, the recipient can appeal the discontinuation of his or her SSDI benefits. Other life changes (i.e. return to work or incarceration) will cause SSDI benefits to stop.
