How often will I be reviewed for continued eligibility for SSDI in Arkansas? In Arkansas, SSDI recipients undergo periodic reviews called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) to determine if they still qualify for benefits. These reviews are typically scheduled every few years, but the exact timing depends on the expected medical improvement related to your condition. Some cases are reviewed more frequently, while others may have longer intervals between evaluations. The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses these reviews to confirm that you continue to meet the disability criteria and remain eligible.
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
The SSA schedules reviews based on:
- Cases likely to improve are reviewed more often, sometimes every 6 to 18 months.
- Stable or terminal conditions may be reviewed less frequently, often every 5 to 7 years.
- Some individuals may have no scheduled reviews if the condition is permanent and unlikely to improve.
Notification of Review
Before a CDR, expect:
- A letter from the SSA informing you about the upcoming examination.
- Requests for updated medical records and information regarding your current health status.
- Possibility of additional medical exams scheduled to assess your condition.
Types of Disability Reviews
Reviews may include:
- Medical Continuing Disability Review (CDR) to check health changes.
- Work CDR to see if you have returned to substantial gainful activity.
- Age 18 Redetermination for child beneficiaries turning 18.
Consequences of Review Outcomes
Depending on results:
- Benefits may continue if disability persists.
- Benefits can be paused or stopped if medical improvement occurs.
- You have the right to appeal any unfavorable decisions.

To help ensure ongoing benefits:
- Keep thorough medical records and treatment documentation.
- Communicate any changes in work status or health promptly to SSA.
