Presumptive disability applies only if there's a strong likelihood
that your case will be allowed. With two denials (initial and recon)
they won't use this provision.

There's a similar provision described here:

/OP_Home/handbook/ /

Under what conditions can a Social Security office make an
emergency advance payment?
SSI emergency advance payments are available only at the time of
initial application if you need assistance before the first payment
arrives. You must present strong evidence of the following:

Qualifying for payment in the current or in the following month by
meeting the qualifications for eligibility (age, disability,
blindness, citizenship or alien status as applicable); and

A financial emergency exists where you have insufficient income or
resources to meet an immedite need for food, clothing, shelter or
medical care.

But again with two denials, they won't use this provision.

I don't know of any other provision.
