If a child whose benefits we terminated, again becomes disabled, we may reentitle
the child without reestablishing dependency if he or she:
-
-
•
has not married since he or she last became entitled to benefits, unless the marriage
was void or annulled. (See RS 00203.015 and RS 00203.020.)
NOTE: A marriage that ended by death or divorce precludes reentitlement. (For information
on reinstating or reentitling a child’s benefits when a marriage is void, see GN 00305.125 through GN 00305.130 .)
In addition, the child must meet one of the following requirements:
-
•
has a disability which began prior to attainment of age 22 (before 01/73, the disability
must have begun prior to age 18); or
-
•
had entitlement terminated prior to 10/72 due to adoption.
Effective 10/01/04, a child may be reentitled to childhood disability benefits (CDB)
at anytime if the:
-
•
Previous entitlement to disability terminated because of SGA; and
-
•
Other reentitlement requirements are met.
If the previous entitlement to CDB terminated because of medical improvement, the
84th month time limit still applies.
