In April 2001, designated General Relief districts initiated a six-month SSI Fast Track Pilot designed to expedite SSI approvals for permanently disabled General Relief participants through an enhanced medical evaluation and documentation process. In coordination with the Department of Health Services (DHS), the fast track process includes a 90-day medical evaluation period during which the participants are evaluated and treated by DHS facilities staff. The medical documentation established during the evaluation period is shared with agencies and departments involved in SSI eligibility determinations so that case management is provided by DPSS SSI Advocates who assist participants in keeping appointments and follow their treatment plans.

Special and South Central districts will be processed under the Social
Security Administration's disability redesign. The redesign is designed
to expedite SSI application processing and achieve an earlier SSI
