The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process can be lengthy in Wyoming, with many applicants waiting months—or even years—for a final decision. However, in certain situations, the Social Security Administration (SSA) allows claims to be expedited for individuals with severe or urgent circumstances. If you have a serious medical condition or face extreme hardship, you may be able to fast-track your claim and avoid long delays.
Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.
Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.
When SSDI Cases Can Be Expedited in Wyoming
The SSA has several programs and rules that allow disability claims to move more quickly when the situation is severe. These include:
1. Compassionate Allowances (CAL)
- Designed for applicants with very serious medical conditions, such as certain cancers, ALS, and rare genetic disorders.
- These conditions are recognized by the SSA as clearly disabling.
- CAL cases are flagged and processed much faster than standard claims, often in just weeks.
2. Quick Disability Determination (QDD)
- Uses a computer screening system to identify cases with strong medical evidence and a high chance of approval.
- QDD cases may be approved in a matter of weeks if documentation is complete.
3. Terminal Illness (TERI) Cases
- Applicants with a terminal illness may have their claim expedited under the TERI process.
- These cases receive immediate attention from the SSA.
4. Dire Need Situations
- If you are unable to afford food, shelter, or essential medical care, you may request that your claim be expedited as a “dire need” case.
- Documentation showing financial hardship is required.
5. Veterans and Wounded Warriors
- Certain veterans and active-duty service members with disabling conditions related to service may qualify for expedited processing.
Limitations of Expedited SSDI in Wyoming
While expedited programs exist, not every case qualifies. Even if your claim is expedited, you must still:
- Meet the SSA’s strict disability criteria.
- Provide complete and convincing medical evidence.
- Submit all required documents without errors or omissions.
Expedited processing reduces wait time but does not guarantee approval.
