I am trying to get approved for SSI. The thought hit me the other day. How long does it actual last if found fully favorable/approved?
Magic, it should last until you reach normal SS retirement age as long as you remain disabled. They do periodic CDR's (continuing disability reviews)(1 year or 3 years or 7 years) to make sure claimants are still disabled in order to keep receiving benefits after you are initially approved.

This is correct. Additionaly, your going to need to meet the income guidelines too. SSI is a lot more stricter income wise then SSDI. Plus a person has to report any change in living arrangements, income, or marital status.

ssdi has no requirements if you are married your spouse can make as much as they want were ssi it is very limited.

Thanks for the info everyone. I've been starting to really wonder how the whole thing works. You think when a person first files they would go over the whole process. They are probably thinking oh we deny everyone so who cares lol. If anyone has anything else they could share that would be great also

It does feel like they deny everyone at the intial stage of filing. Their is a higher precentage of not getting approved the first two stages of filing. The precentage rate increases at the hearing level . But, that can take a yr or two just to get at that stage. I have wondered if every state has some kind of precentage of deniels at different stages of the process. It is hard to determine how social security really works on the inside. Even on the official Website , they make it seem easy to be approved. That is far from the truth.

All the people who do the approvals or denials have to go by the SSA rules witch are the same in every state not one state or another can approve or deny because of the state you live in. Remember ssdi and ssi are federal programs the only reason the ssa lets the states do the first 2 steps is because of the manpower the SSA funds the states to do the first 2 stages of evaluation then it is up to the SSA to do the hearings at the odar level. So you see that all the states have to go by SSA rules when evaluating a claim for ssdi or ssi.
How long does it last?
