DI 32010.025 Continuing Disability Review (CDR) 'Cessation Determination' Cases

A. Procedure for handling folder return

Return all initial CDR case folders that have a cessation determination to the originating field office (FO). The FO will hold the case for the appeal period.

B. Routing CDR cessation determinations

The Disability Determination Services (DDS) may receive cases where eligibility has previously terminated for a non-disability reason, for example, a termination could occur following a suspension period of 12 consecutive calendar months. Further, State conversion reentitlement cases are processed by the DDS.

  • If the cessation determination is a paper CDR folder, include a remark on an SSA-408 (Route Slip), indicating the type of case and a remark stating what cessation or termination action was taken or may be necessary.

  • If the cessation determination is an electronic folder or needs to be converted to an electronic folder, please see DI 81010.020 Creating Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) Cases.

The following chart displays examples of the destination and necessary remarks for (DDS) routing of cessation determination CDR cases:
