Why does the SSA need more information?

Thursday, October 8, 2009 by Eric A. Shore

Determining eligibility for disability benefits is a complex process resulting in the possibility of significant life changes for the recipient. Approved claims also result in long-term governmental financial support, translating into a lot of money paid out by the SSA.

To keep this process in check, the SSA has created strict regulations for determining eligibility. One of these regulations involves ensuring that each claim is supported by thorough and accurate medical information. This means that if they have requested a CE for your claim, they need more medical information to render a decision.
