If you are not poor, there is no need to go to an SSI interview. You can request a form to waive it, or you can just go to it. Theoretically, skipping the interview speeds things up. But sometimes they lose the waiver form so it really just slows things down.
If you get SSDI, you will have a waiting period of 24 months to qualify for Medicare. The 24 months start the day you first qualify for SSDI. So, if your backpay starts two years ago, your Medicare starts right now! If your backpay starts one year ago, your Medicare starts in one year from now.

The first question people ask when they apply for disability is whether they will be approved for benefits. Unfortunately, the odds that your disability application will be approved at the initial stage of the process are not good.
Eligibility for social security disability benefits requires either that the disability lasts, or is expected to last, 12 months or longer, or will result in your death. This means that disability benefits are paid only for long-term disability; short-term disability does not qualify.
I agree with the other gentleman. You are so close to full retirement age that it is very unlikely that SSA would decide to review your status (or may have done so already, briefly, and decided a full review wasn't needed). You should be fine.
You may not have ever been informed, but your claim could have been reviewed already and you might not have ever known about it. As Mr Pont said, based on age and type of disability, there are some cases which only require a very cursory review or none at all.
Do nothing other than continue to treat with your doctors as is medically appropriate. Being so close to retirement age it is highly unlikely they will review your claim in my opinion.
I agree with the previous responses regarding these reviews, which are called Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs). SSA is frequently behind schedule at conducting them when due.
After you attend a disability appeal hearing and the administrative law judge (ALJ) has heard your case, the judge will send a written opinion (decision) to you. The decision will state whether you were approved or denied, ...
A full approval means that the ALJ agrees with you as to the date you became disabled. If you win a full approval (called a fully favorable decision), you will be awarded benefits back to your alleged onset date.
When you applied for disability, you provided the SSA with an alleged onset date. This is the date you felt you became disabled due to your condition. But the judge doesn't need to agree with this onset date when awarding you benefits.
This date is then called your established onset date. If the established onset date is later then the onset date you alleged on your application, the amount of back pay you will receive will be less (although it won't affect your future monthly payments). For more information on how your back payments will be affected, see our article on past due benefits.
If the ALJ denies your claim, you have 60 days to ask the Appeals Council (AC) to review your case. Your appeal must be in writing and, in order to be successful, must demonstrate that the ALJ's decision was not based on substantial evidence.
Trying to get on for mental health. Hearing in two months. Therapist just told me she wants to cut down our sessions by 50% because I have “improved.” I’m prepared to be denied now.
So I recently went online (ssa.gov) to see if my DD info was good to go. I notice a one time payment dated the 21st. I'm guessing it's one of the three payments I'll be getting. Anyone knoe when it should be deposited? Thanks
Hello , I currently collect about $1250 and my 2 children collect $313 each for a total of 626 or 50% of my amount. After my third child is born, will I collect another 313 or am I maxed out?
