Sec. 416.214  You are disabled and drug addiction or alcoholism is a 
contributing factor material to the determination of disability.

    (a) If you do not comply with treatment requirements. If you receive 
benefits because you are disabled and drug addiction or alcoholism is a 
contributing factor material to the determination of disability (see 
Sec. 416.935), you must avail yourself of any appropriate treatment for 
your drug addiction or alcoholism at an approved institution or facility 
when this treatment is available and make progress in your treatment. 
You are not eligible for SSI benefits beginning with the month after the 
month you are notified in writing that we determined that you have 
failed to comply with the treatment requirements. If your benefits are 
suspended because you failed to comply with treatment requirements, you 
will not be eligible to receive benefits until you have demonstrated 
compliance with treatment for a period of time, as specified in Sec. 
416.1326. The rules regarding treatment for drug addiction and 
alcoholism are in subpart I of this part.
    (b) If you previously received 36 months of SSI or Social Security 
benefits. You are not eligible for SSI benefits by reason of disability 
on the basis of drug addiction or alcoholism as described in Sec. 
416.935 if--
    (1) You previously received a total of 36 months of SSI benefits on 
the basis of disability and drug addiction or alcoholism was a 
contributing factor material to the determination of disability for 
months beginning March 1995, as described in Sec. 416.935. Not included 
in these 36 months are months before March 1995 and months for which 
your benefits were suspended for any reason. The 36-month limit is no 
longer effective for months beginning after September 2004; or
    (2) You previously received a total of 36 months of Social Security 
benefits counted in accordance with the provisions of Sec. Sec.
