If the Social Security Administration (SSA) believes that your medical condition has improved or that you now are able to work full-time, they will send you a written notice that says your benefits will stop.
Here are the two most important things to know if this happens to you:
(1) You can fight this decision. The way to do it is by “asking for reconsideration”.
(2) If you want to keep receiving benefits while you fight SSA’s decision, you must request reconsideration within 10 days of getting the notice of SSA’s decision. Otherwise, your benefits will stop.
If you request reconsideration of Social Security’s determination that you are no longer disabled, you have the right to go to an in-person hearing, just like you may have had when you applied for disability in the first place. At the hearing, you can present evidence that you are still disabled, including your medical records, witnesses and a letter from your doctor (highly recommended).
