How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in Virginia? In Virginia, individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are regularly reviewed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to ensure they remain eligible for benefits. These Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) typically occur every few years, but the exact timing depends on the severity and nature of your disability. The review process evaluates any changes in your condition to determine if you still meet SSA’s disability criteria. Being aware of how often these reviews happen helps you stay prepared and maintain your benefits without interruption.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Frequency of SSDI Reviews
Reviews may vary based on your condition:
- Medical Improvement Expected: Typically reviewed every 6 to 18 months.
- Medical Improvement Possible: Reviews usually occur every 3 years.
- Medical Improvement Not Expected: Reviews may happen every 5 to 7 years or longer.
Triggering a Review
Some situations can prompt additional evaluations:
- Changes in your medical condition reported to SSA.
- Information from doctors or employers suggesting ability to work.
- Periodic mailings or forms asking about your current health status.
What SSA Evaluates During Reviews
During a review, the SSA will:
- Examine updated medical records and treatment history.
- Assess functional capacity to determine if you can perform substantial gainful work.
- Consider any new medical evidence you submit.
Consequences of Review Outcomes
Depending on findings:
- Benefits continue if disability remains severe and limiting.
- Benefits may stop if SSA finds you can work or your condition has improved.
- You have the right to appeal if benefits are discontinued.
Staying Prepared
To ensure smooth reviews:
- Maintain regular medical treatment and documentation.
- Respond promptly to all SSA correspondence.
