Director: Jacki Russell Disability Determination Services (DDS) is a division of the NC Department of Health and Human Services. Funded
primarily by the federal government’s Social Security Administration (SSA), DDS makes medical determinations for Social Security and state Medicaid Disability claims. People can apply for Social Security disability benefits in person at a local SSA field office, by telephone or by filing online. Social Security Disability claims are initially processed at local SSA field offices. The application and related forms ask for a description of the person’s impairment(s), treatment sources and other information that relate to the disability that is being claimed. The field office is responsible for verifying non-medical eligibility requirements, which may include age, employment, marital status or Social Security coverage information. The field office then sends the case to DDS to evaluate the disability. DDS is responsible for obtaining medical evidence and making the initial determination on whether that person, or a claimant, is disabled or blind under the law. DDS works to obtain evidence from the claimant's own health care providers first. If that evidence is unavailable or insufficient to make a determination, DDS will arrange for a consultative examination (CE) to obtain additional information. The claimant's treatment provider is the preferred source for the CE, but DDS may obtain the CE from an independent source. Trained staff at DDS then makes the disability determination. After a determination is made, DDS returns the case to the field office for appropriate action. If DDS finds the claimant is disabled, SSA completes any outstanding non-disability development (such as current income and resources), computes the benefit amount, and begins paying benefits to the claimant. If the claimant was found not to be disabled, the file is kept in the field office in the event of an appeal. The local SSA field office will assist claimants with completing paperwork to begin an appeal if applicable. DDS also processes Medicaid disability claims for the state of North Carolina. Medicaid disability claims can be filed by contacting a county Department of Social Services office. Once a Medicaid disability application is received, DDS will develop medical evidence and make a determination on disability using the same protocols as outlined for Social Security Disability benefits.

What is the Disability Determination program?Disability Determination Services (DDS) determines medical eligibility for Missourians who have filed for disability benefits with the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA manages two programs that award benefits because of disability or blindness. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Title II, provides benefits for individuals who are disabled or blind and are "insured" based on the Social Security tax they paid on their earnings or the earnings of their spouse or parents. Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Title XVI, provides payments to individuals that are disabled or blind, including children under age 18, who have limited income and resources. Once a disability benefits claim has been filed with SSA, if the individual meets the non-medical requirements, the disability claim will be forwarded to DDS, a state agency, under the Office of Adult Learning and Rehabilitation Services. Regulated and fully funded by the federal government, DDS decides whether or not a claimant’s medical condition is considered a disability under Social Security law. To document the medical conditions of individuals, who have filed disability claims, DDS contacts doctors, hospitals, schools, employers, and other sources to obtain medical records and functional information. Sometimes an independent exam is necessary in determining disability eligibility. Using this medical information, along with the person's age, daily activity level, education, and past work experience, DDS will make a recommendation as to whether the individual's condition meets SSA’s medical requirements. SSA will then determine whether the individual meets the non-medical standards. The Social Security Disability program provides economic security to many Missouri citizens who are unable to work due to a disability. For additional information, contact Social Security Online.
