If your disability benefits have expired, the Social Security Administration can assist you in reclaiming them. Of course, if they ended due to work.
Those who have overcome a disability through surgery, medical improvement, or therapy are ineligible for reinstatement as long as they do not have a qualifying disability.
Some disability benefit recipients lose their monthly payments because they earned more than the limits for a long time. They can sometimes be restarted if necessary.
Get Disability back within 5 years of Social Security benefits ended
First and foremost, the Agency recommends calling them. Inform the representative that you would like to file for “expedited reinstatement” of your disability benefits.
Once the Social Security representative has received this information, they will ask you a few questions.
Although you must answer these questions, you are not required to file a new Disability benefits application.
In addition, you may be eligible for disability benefits for up to 6 months while the Social Security Administration reviews your case and request.
What is Social Security’s phone number to request “expedited reinstatement”?
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call TTY +1 800-325-0778, otherwise call +1 800-772-1213. For your information, you can call Monday through Friday.
The hours for calling and requesting “expedited reinstatement” are from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Don’t worry if you don’t speak English fluently; there are other languages available.
Unfortunately, if you need to get your disability benefits after 5 years they ended, you will need to submit a new application.
If you lost your benefits and the reason was not work, you will need to file a new application to get monthly payment from SSDI or SSI.
