Why SSDI Benefits Might Stop
There are several common reasons your SSDI benefits may be terminated:
- Medical Improvement: SSA determines you’re no longer disabled
- Failure to Respond: You missed deadlines or didn’t return SSA forms
- Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA): You earned too much from working
- Incarceration: Being jailed or imprisoned can result in benefit suspension
- Eligibility Review: A continuing disability review (CDR) led to termination
Understanding the cause will help determine the right next step.
Immediate Steps to Take if Benefits Stop
- Review the SSA Notice
SSA will send you a letter explaining why your benefits have stopped. Read it carefully—it contains important deadlines and appeal instructions. - Request Reconsideration
If you disagree with the decision, you can file a request for reconsideration within 60 days. If you want to keep receiving benefits during the appeal, you must submit your request within 10 days of the notice date. - Gather Medical Evidence
Collect up-to-date medical records and statements from your doctors that show your condition has not improved or that you remain unable to work. - Keep SSA Informed
If the stoppage was due to missing paperwork, respond immediately and follow SSA’s instructions to get back on track.
Do You Need a Lawyer?
In many cases, yes. Navigating an SSDI reinstatement or appeal is complex. A qualified disability attorney can:
- Review your SSA notice
- Help file your appeal or reconsideration
- Collect and present new medical evidence
- Represent you in front of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), if needed
