According to SSA’s website:
In most cases, you will continue to receive benefits as long as you have a disability. However, there are certain circumstances that may change your continuing eligibility for disability benefits. For example, your health may improve or you might go back to work.
The law requires that Social Security review your case from time to time to verify that you still have a disability. We will tell you if it is time to review your medical condition and keep you informed about your benefit status. Generally, if your health hasn’t improved, or if your disability keeps you from working, you’ll continue to receive your benefits.
When SSA re-evaluates your eligibility for benefits, they will conduct what is known as a continuing disability review. Many times you may not even be aware that a CDR has been undertaken in your case and most SSD claimants will not see their benefits suspended.
But in some cases, the CDR will result in an effort by SSA to terminate your benefits.
You do have the right to appeal a proposed termination but there are strings attached.
In this website we will discuss who is most likely to be subject to a CDR, what happens if SSA moves to terminate benefits and what you can do to contest a termination.
