How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in Washington? In Washington, the Social Security Administration conducts periodic Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) for SSDI beneficiaries to verify they still meet eligibility requirements. Typically, these reviews are scheduled every few years depending on the expected medical improvement and condition severity. Some cases may require reviews as frequently as every 6 to 18 months, while others might be reviewed every 5 to 7 years. The purpose is to ensure that you continue to qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits without interruption.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
