 Protecting Young Adult Beneficiaries in Age 18 Reviews

Children on SSI face mandatory review at age 18. These reviews are not Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) assessing medical improvement. Rather, beneficiaries have to demonstrate they now meet the adult standard for disability. Learn how to prepare clients for these reviews, the importance of SSR 11-2p, and if all else fails, how to help your client maintain benefits under the 301 program.
