What is it?
Expedited Reinstatement (EXR) is an important safety net for beneficiaries who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
How does it work?
If your SSI/SSDI cash benefits terminate due to work and earnings, and you later have to stop working or reduce your hours due to your disability, you can use EXR to reinstate your benefits without a new application. This is available for 5 years after your benefits terminate due to work and earnings!
Why is it important?
EXR can be a quick way to get your SSI/SSDI back if you have to stop working or reduce your hours because of your disability. Also, you can receive up to 6 months of provisional benefits while the Social Security Administration (SSA) is processing your request to use EXR!
