It can seem like you’re entering a bottomless pit when you can’t keep a job that pays well while the bills keep coming in.

Basic Info About Your PERC Appointment or SSI Redetermination Phone Interview
If you’re newly approved for disability benefits, your SSI interview’s probably called a “PERC” (which stands for Pre-effectuation Review Contract). If you were approved for SSI 1-6 years ago, you may get called in for your “SSI Redetermination” appointment. Regardless of what they call it, you’ll have to answer the exact same SSI interview questions every time. The SSA agent will ask you questions about your financial status to confirm you’re actually eligible for SSI.
You should first understand that your PERC is more than just a formality. The SSA verifies your eligibility for benefits using the data you provide at your SSI interview. Second, the amount of money you receive each month depends on how you respond to these SSI questions. Therefore, preparing for your SSI interview is crucial to receiving the maximum amount of benefits each month for which you are eligible.
What Documents Should I Bring to My SSI Interview/PERC Appointment?
You must conduct your PERC exactly as you would a job interview. Prepare yourself and bring any documents you might need. Bring all applicable supporting documentation, as this interview will confirm that your income and resources are insufficient.
Remember that arriving unprepared will only cause your SSI benefits to be delayed. Without evidence that your income and assets are within the permitted limits, the SSA will not approve your next SSI payment. Failure to bring necessary paperwork to your appointment could cause the process to drag on. If that occurs, you will need to set up a second PERC/SSI interview and bring all of your documentation with you.
When did your conditions become disabling?
When your condition became so severe that you could no longer work will be a question the SSA will put to you. This information aids in figuring out when your disability is said to have started.
