But how long does this process actually take?

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Typical Timeline for SSDI Redetermination
The length of time it takes for an SSDI redetermination in Oklahoma can vary, but on average:
- Short-form redetermination (mail review):
Typically completed within 1 to 3 months - Full medical review (long-form CDR):
Can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, or longer if additional medical evidence or examinations are needed
SSA may also request a Consultative Exam if your existing medical records are not sufficient, which can extend the timeline further.
What Triggers a Redetermination?
SSA typically reviews SSDI cases at regular intervals based on the expected improvement of your condition:
- Expected improvement: Review every 6–18 months
- Possible improvement: Review every 3 years
- Not expected to improve: Review every 5–7 years
Other triggers include returning to work, income changes, or new information in your medical record.
What Happens During the Process?
- You receive a redetermination notice
- SSA reviews your medical and functional status
- You may be asked to complete forms or attend exams
- SSA makes a decision to continue or terminate your benefits
- You are notified by mail, with the option to appeal if denied
Delays You Might Experience
Several factors can extend the timeline of your SSDI redetermination in Oklahoma:
- Delays in obtaining updated medical records
- Scheduling of consultative exams
- Backlogs at SSA field offices or processing centers
- Additional documentation requested during the review
Keeping your contact info and medical records up to date can help avoid unnecessary delays.
