What is a non medical review for ssdi?

A non-medical review for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is a review conducted by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to evaluate whether a disability claimant's condition has improved such that they are no longer disabled, and therefore no longer eligible for disability benefits. This type of review focuses on non-medical factors, such as a claimant's work activities, education, and transferable skills, to determine whether they are capable of engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA) and earning enough income to support themselves without disability benefits. The SSA typically conducts non-medical reviews periodically to ensure that disability benefits are being paid out appropriately and that claimants are receiving the necessary support to return to work when possible. It is important for claimants to cooperate with the SSA during the review process and provide accurate and up-to-date information about their condition and work activities to avoid any potential termination of benefits.
