How often will Social Security review my disability claim?

When Social Security (SSA) awards disability benefits, they schedule a review depending on the severity of your disability and on when you may medically improve.

  • If medical improvement is expected soon, Social Security will review your claim within the first three years;
  • If medical improvement is considered possible, Social Security will review your claim at least once every three years;
  • If medical improvement is not expected, Social Security will review your claim every five to seven years.
