Master SSDI/SSI Operational Vocabulary
The single vocabulary brain for HDCC — 130 terms across every claim stage, evidence lifecycle, form, and claim-control state. Every term is written twice: for the case manager touching the claim, then for the manager responsible for process control. Search, filter by category or stage, isolate the Core / New CM set, and expand any term for the full dual lens.
HDCC Guardrail
Do not use this vocabulary master to make disability determinations, guarantee outcomes, declare that a Listing is met, or provide legal strategy. When the answer depends on current SSA criteria, procedure, or professional judgment, verify narrowly and escalate appropriately. This material is educational and operational, not legal advice. HDCC does not collect or store claimant names, SSNs, dates of birth, medical records, or other sensitive claimant information.
Source & governance notes
Definitions were checked against current official Social Security Administration sources, including SSA disability/SSI program pages, POMS, HALLEX, the Blue Book, Red Book work-incentive guidance, and SSA hearing/appeals materials. Because thresholds and procedures can change, staff should verify the current official source when a number, deadline, or procedural rule controls the action.
