CONTINUED PAYMENT UNDER A VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM (Section 5113 of the Omnibus Budget Act of 1990 extended eleigibility for Section 301 of the SS DI Amendments of 1980)

To whom it applies: It applies to persons who are receiving SSDI or SSI benefits who improve medically and therefore are no longer considered disabled by SSA. What it does: SSDI and SSI benefits will continue if, at the time disability ceases, the person is participating in an approved State vocational rehabilitation program whose services are likely to enable the person to work permanently. Due to a new law, effective Nov. 1, 1991, a person can be participating in any approved vocational rehabilitation program whose services are likely to enable the person to work permanently. How long benefits continue: Benefits continue until the rehabilitation services are completed, or until the person discontinues receiving services. Who makes the decision: The Social Security Administration, with the aid of State vocational rehabilitation information, determines eligibility for continued payments based on the criterion that the persons participation in the vocational rehabilitation program will increase the likelihood of permanent independence and self-sufficiency.
