STREET ADDRESS

CITY ST ZIP

 

Earlier we told you that we would review your case to decide if you are disabled under the disability rules for adults. We are writing to tell you that you will continue to receive Supplemental Security Income payments if you still meet all the other eligibility requirements. This is because you are disabled under the disability rules for adults. Also, if you are getting medical assistance based on SSI, your coverage should continue.

We Will Review Your Case Again

The doctors and other trained staff who decided that you are still disabled believe that your health may improve. Therefore, we will review your case again in about 3 years. We will send you a letter before we start your review.

Things To Remember

The decision we made on your case is based on information we have now. If this information changes, it could affect your SSI. For this reason, it is important that you report changes right away. Be sure to tell us about any of the following changes:

  • You go to work.

  • Your job, pay or work expenses change, if you are working now.

  • Your doctor says your health is better.

  • Your income, livings arrangements, or resources change.

If You Disagree With The Decision

If you disagree with the decision, you have the right to appeal. We will review your case again and consider any new facts you have. A person who did not make the first decision will decide your case.

  • You have 60 days to ask for any appeal.

  • The 60 days start the day after you receive this letter. We assume you got this letter 5 days after the date on it unless you show us that you did not get it within the 5-day period.

  • You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to ask for any appeal.

  • You have to ask for an appeal in writing. We will ask you to sign Form SSA-561-U2, called “Request for Reconsideration.” Contact one of our offices if you want help.

How the Appeal Works

You have the right to review the facts in your case. You can give us more facts to add to your file. Then we will decide your case again. You will not meet the person who will decide your case.

If You Want Help With Your Appeal

You can have a friend, lawyer, or someone else help you. There are groups that can help you find a lawyer or give you free legal services if you qualify. There are also lawyers who do not charge unless you win your appeal. Your local Social Security office has a list of groups that can help you with your appeal.

If you get someone to help you, you should let us know. If you hire someone, we must approve the fee before they can collect it.

If You Have Any Questions

If you have any questions, you may call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213, or call your local Social Security office at XXX-XXX-XXXX. We can answer most questions over the phone. You can also write or visit any Social Security office. The office that serves your area is located at:
