What is the Social Security disability evaluation process? Social Security administers two disability programs: Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income. The disability evaluation process is the same for both programs; furthermore many disability claims involve both programs. Once you have filed your application with Social Security, your disability case file is sent to a state disability agency to begin the disability evaluation process. Generally, state disability examiners gather your medical records from the medical sources you provided during your disability interview, however if you have medical records that you can provide to Social Security, the records may expedite the disability evaluation process. What if there is not enough information to make a Social Security disability evaluation? Many individuals do not have enough medical treatment to evaluate their conditions, if this is your case, Social Security will schedule a consultative examination in an effort to evaluate the severity of your impairments. When the state disability examiner feel there is enough information in your disability case file, they will make a medical determination. Normally, the initial disability evaluation process takes ninety days or less, however there are disability cases that take longer.
