How Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability?

There are many factors the Social Security Administration considers when determining whether or not you qualify for disability benefits.

The SSA uses 5 key questions to help determine your eligibility:

  1. Are you working? In order to qualify for disability benefits from the SSA, you cannot earn more than $1,180 per month in wages.
  2. How severe is your condition? The SSA will seek to determine to what extent your disability interferes with work-related activities when evaluating your application.
  3. Is your disability on the list of disabling conditions? The SSA maintains a list of conditions that automatically qualify an applicant for disability benefits if they meet certain other criteria.
  4. Can you do the same work? You may qualify for Social Security disability benefits if your condition prevents you from doing the same type of work that you have done for the last 15 years, and you also meet additional criteria.
  5. Can you do any other type of work? The SSA will want to know whether or not your disability prevents you from doing other suitable work with your remaining abilities (sometimes called “residual functional capacity”).

While these questions are important in helping determine your eligibility for disability benefits, every case is different and there are many factors that influence whether or not you ultimately receive a favorable decision.
