Hi R.S. and Welcome!

No, it's not a dumb question. No question ever is. It's a very thought provoking question actually!

I don't have the answer, as I just applied for SSD in Maryland. It will take a minimum of six months for my decision. I would think that once one was approved for SSD, they would continue to receive it (because of the incredible hassle of applying). Plus, one would never know when the symptoms would resurface.
