Sec. 416.204  Redeterminations of SSI eligibility.

    (a) Redeterminations defined. A redetermination is a review of your 
eligibility to make sure that you are still eligible and that you are 
receiving the right amount of SSI benefits. This review deals with the 
requirements for eligibility other than whether you are still disabled 
or blind. Continuation of disability or blindness reviews are discussed 
in Secs. 416.989 and 416.990.
    (b) When we make redeterminations. (1) We redetermine your 
eligibility on a scheduled basis at periodic intervals. The length of 
time between scheduled redeterminations varies depending on the 
likelihood that your situation may change in a way that affects your 
benefits.
    (2) We may also redetermine your eligibility when you tell us (or we 
otherwise learn) of a change in your situation which affects your 
eligibility or the amount of your benefit.
    (c) The period for which a redetermination applies: (1) The first 
redetermination applies to--
    (i) The month in which we make the redetermination;
    (ii) All months beginning with the first day of the latest of the 
following:
    (A) The month of first eligibility or re-eligibility; or
    (B) The month of application; or
    (C) The month of deferred or updated development; and
    (iii) Future months until the second redetermination.
    (2) All other redeterminations apply to--
    (i) The month in which we make the redetermination;
    (ii) All months beginning with the first day of the month the last 
redetermination was initiated; and
    (iii) Future months until the next redetermination.
    (3) If we made two redeterminations which cover the same month, the 
later redetermination is the one we apply to that month.
