SSA's Quick Disability Determination (QDD) and Compassionate Allowances (CAL) - CarePlus New Jersey Mental Health Care, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapy

Submitted by ruggia on

Social Security Administration is committed to providing benefits quickly to claimants whose medical conditions are so serious that they clearly meet our disability standards.  Our two fast-track processes, Quick Disability Determination (QDD) and Compassionate Allowances (CAL), use technology to identify claimants with the most severe disabilities and allow us to expedite our decisions on those cases while maintaining accuracy.  These initiatives have been two of our greatest successes in recent years. We can approve some cases in a matter of days instead of months.
