Social Security Report can be completed online

 The Disability Update Report Can Now be Completed Online

The Disability Update Report is part of our Continuing Disability Review (CDR) process, which is required by law. We periodically review each case to determine if the beneficiary continues to meet the eligibility rules to receive disability benefits. We mail the Disability Update Report, or Form SSA-455, to disabled beneficiaries to obtain updated information about their medical conditions and recent treatments. They now also have the option to complete the SSA-455 online at https://www.ssa.gov/ssa455-online-form.

SSA is making it easier for people who receive Social Security disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income payments to submit their Disability Update Report - SSA Form 455 online.  This form is completed periodically by some beneficiaries for their Continuing Disability Review (CDR).  The law requires us to complete a CDR to determine if a beneficiary still has a disabling condition.

In addition to completing the form online, beneficiaries can still submit it by mail or over the phone with a representative by calling our customer service number at 1-800-772-1213.

The notices sent to beneficiaries this month explain that the online option is coming soon. Future mailed notices will provide information about the option to submit the form online. I encourage you to share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
