This letter is about your SSI. You do not need to call us.

Earlier we wrote to tell you that we would review your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability case to decide if you were still disabled. We are writing now to tell you that because you are over age 18, we will use the same disability rules we use for adults who file new claims to decide your case. However, we will not apply the rule that says we must deny your claim if you are working.

We Will Let You Know What We Decide

See Next Page

• Doctors and other trained staff will decide if you are disabled under the disability rules for adults.

  We may decide that you are not disabled under the disability rules for adults and your SSI payments could stop. The disability rules for adults are different than the disability rules for children we used when we last looked at your case. So we may find you are not disabled now even though we found you disabled before.

  When we decide we will let you know our decision. Our letter will explain your right to appeal the decision. If you appeal the decision you can also choose to have us continue to make payments until we decide the appeal.
