According to P.L. 104-193, children receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disabled
child benefits must have a non-medical and a medical redetermination done at the age
of 18. The purpose of these Redeterminations is to establish eligibility under the
adult medical standards.
During the Redetermination process, whenever possible, the Claims Representative (CR)
collects both non-medical (e.g. living arrangements, income) and medical information
from the claimant. Age 18 disability Redeterminations are processed in EDCS using
the electronic SSA-3368 (Disability Report-Adult) process, unless an eCDR exclusion
exists.
