Qualifying for Social
Security Disability Income
To qualify for Social Security disability income, you must meet certain requirements. These include:
- Suffering from a disability listed by the SSA as a qualifying disabling condition.
- Providing robust medical evidence to show that the disability prevents you from engaging in substantial gainful activity. This element requires a claimant to prove that they are suffering from a disabling condition and the condition prevents them from working. The condition can be physical, emotional, or mental, but must be supported by reliable medical proof.
- Accumulating enough work credits to qualify, which depends on the length of time you have worked. If you have not built up enough work credits for benefits, the SSA may deny your claim.
If you are denied, you do have certain rights, including asking that your case be reexamined and that a hearing be granted. The time period from filing to final approval can be held up at each stage of the process, making it imperative to put your best case forward from the start. Complete information and reliable evidence make it more likely that your case will proceed through the system in a timely manner.
Alternatives in the Meantime
In the meantime, you can look at other benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), certain food and health programs, and other benefits offered in your area.
