The Disability Experts of Florida can answer any of your questions about disability benefits—including questions about the Division of Disability Determinations.
In short, the Division of Disability Determinations plays a major role in determining your overall eligibility for disability benefits claims. The Division of Disability Determinations is responsible for determining the medical eligibility of Florida residents who are applying for disability benefits under the federal Social Security and Supplemental Security Income programs, as well as the state's Medically Needy program. The Division of Disability Determinations is also responsible for reviewing existing beneficiaries under these federal programs to determine if the beneficiaries will continue to be eligible for disability benefits. The Division of Disability Determinations makes all decisions on initial claims and Reconsiderations in the State of Florida.
Division of Disability Determinations Application Flow
When you seek disability benefits through the Social Security Act, you must first file your disability benefits application at your local Social Security field office. Or, your application will be filed at a local Department of Children and Families (DCF) office when benefits are sought through the Medically Needy program. The applications are then forwarded to The Division of Disability Determinations. Here, they will determine whether the applicant is medically eligible for benefits. Next, claims are returned to the SSA or the DCF for a final decision of non-medical eligibility and activation of any benefits that are due to the applicant.
