When does my eligibility for aged, blind, or disabled (ABD) cash benefits end?
(1) The maximum period of eligibility for ABD cash is 24 months before we must review additional medical evidence. If you remain on ABD cash at the end of the 24-month period, we determine your eligibility using current medical evidence.
(2) If your application for SSI is denied:
(a) We review your eligibility for the ABD cash program;
(b) We stop your benefits if you do not provide proof you have filed an appeal with SSA within 60 days of a SSI denial for not being disabled.
(3) We stop your benefits after the final decision on your application for SSI/SSA benefits or if you fail to follow through with any part of the SSI/SSA application or appeals process.
(4) We review your eligibility for the ABD cash program when you discharge from a public institution, as defined in WAC 182-500-0050.
