How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in New Jersey? In New Jersey, if you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), reviews are conducted periodically to ensure you still qualify for benefits. These reviews, called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs), typically happen every few years, but the frequency depends on your medical condition. The Social Security Administration (SSA) schedules these reviews to confirm your disability status has not improved to the point where you can work. Being aware of how frequently you will be reviewed can help you prepare and maintain eligibility.
Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.
Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
Review Frequency Depends on Medical Improvement Expectations
The SSA will:
- Schedule reviews based on whether your condition is expected to improve.
- More frequent reviews are common for conditions likely to improve.
- Less frequent or no reviews occur if improvement is not expected.
Typical Review Intervals
In New Jersey, reviews often take place every:
- 1 to 3 years for conditions that may improve rapidly.
- 3 to 7 years for conditions expected to remain stable.
- Never for severe permanent disabilities.
Types of Continuing Disability Reviews
Reviews include:
- Full medical reviews of your current health status.
- Work activity checks to confirm you are not earning over the allowed limit.
- Updated medical records are requested from your healthcare providers.
Notifications from SSA
You will receive:
- Advance notice before your scheduled review date.

Importance of Compliance
Failing to respond may result in:
