IMPORTANT NOTICE

YOU MUST CONTACT US OR JANE SMITH'S SSI MAY STOP 

 

We must review the cases of children who are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) based on disability to make sure they are still disabled under our rules. Our rules require us to review, at least once every three years, the cases of children whose health we think may improve. We may also review cases at other times, even if we do not think that a child's health may improve. 

 

We are writing to let you know that we are starting to review Jane Smith's SSI case. We have enclosed a pamphlet, “How We Decide If You Are Still Disabled,” that will tell you more about the review.

We May Ask You To Show That Jane Smith Receives Treatment 

 

Before we review Jane Smith's case, we may also ask you to show proof that they are and have been receiving treatment that is medically necessary and available for their condition. Before we ask for this proof, we will consider the nature of their condition. If you do not show proof of treatment when we ask you, and you do not have a good reason why they are not receiving treatment, we may stop making payments to you and select another payee if it is in their best interests. If they are old enough, we may pay them directly.

How We Decide If They Are Disabled 

 

Doctors and other trained staff will decide for us if:

  • their condition has improved, and if

  • they are still disabled under our rules. 

 

We Will Let You Know What We Decide 

 

When we decide, we will write and let you know our decision. Our letter will tell you whether they are still disabled under our rules. 

 

We may find that they are no longer disabled under our rules and their SSI could stop. If this happens, you can appeal our decision. If you appeal our decision, you can also choose to have us continue to pay you until we decide the appeal. 

 

If We Do Not Hear From You 

 

We may stop Jane Smith's SSI if you do not answer this letter by

(Month/Day/Year) or contact us by this date to tell us why we have not heard from you. Before we stop their SSI, we will send you another letter to explain our decision. The letter will also explain your right to appeal the decision and how to continue getting payments during the appeal. 

 

Information About Medical Assistance 

 

If Jane Smith's SSI stops, any medical assistance they have that is based on SSI may also stop. If this happens, your medical assistance agency should contact you, or you can call them to see if you qualify for continued medical assistance. You should know that children do not have to be disabled to qualify for medical assistance. Many children may still qualify for medical assistance if they live in households that meet the income and resource rules for SSI. 

 

You may also be able to receive help to pay Jane Smith's medical bills through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in your State. For more information about CHIP in your State, call toll-free 1-877-KIDS NOW or 1-877-543-7669.

We will be glad to answer any questions that you have. Whether we talk to you by telephone or in person, 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
