Once my disability determination and award came through, I didn't have to be evaluated again. I had a regular provider for my regular stuff but my evaluation date for eligibility was seven years from my award date. That's called full disability. I was on that until I 'aged out' at 67 and all my case stuff was transferred to regular retirement social security, since I was too old to be expected to work.

The only thing that changed was the state kicked me off of medicaid because I had received an inheritance during the covid thing so when they were able to reset the medicaid rolls, I no longer qualified for the state thing.

I guess some people have partial disability, that may require more frequent evaluations but that may also depend on your age if you are 60 or over. That's what I gathered from the paperwork.

That's all I can tell you, nothing changed except the agency sponsoring my funds. The date the money comes is the same as is the amount.
