Continuing Disability Review Process Improved, But More Targeted Reviews Needed Gao ID: T-HEHS-94-121 March 10, 1994

GAO is encouraged by the Social Security Administration's (SSA) efforts to make the continuing disability review process more efficient and cost-effective through the use of computer profiling and beneficiary self-reported data. GAO is concerned, however, that SSA continues to do too few continuing disability reviews, particularly for beneficiaries with the greatest likelihood of being removed from the disability rolls. In GAO's view, finding ways to provide SSA with more money to do the reviews is worthwhile.
