How Can the SSA Determine Your Disability
How Can the SSA Determine Your Disability
There are five questions the SSA uses to determine if you are disabled. After checking if you have enough work credits, the claims inspector will use the following criteria to review your application. Here are the five questions you need to ask yourself if you are not sure if you qualify for disability benefits.
1. Are You Working?
This question is asked by the SSA to find out how much income you can earn through a job. Once you can do what is called “substantial gainful activity” (SGA), you’re not deemed disabled and you’re not entitled to any benefits.
The SSA evaluates your monthly earnings to find out if it exceeds the highest income limit. If this is the case, you will be engaging in SGA and this will bar you from getting benefits.
The national wage index is used by Federal regulations to determine the yearly earning limits. The SSA’s benefit planner can help to ascertain the amount of money you can earn from work and yet still be eligible for SSDI benefits.
The SSDI program does not place a limit on the amount you can get from working, neither your assets. Moreover, any income earned by your spouse will not influence your eligibility.
2. How Severe Is Your Condition?
To be eligible for SSDI benefits, your condition must greatly affect your ability to do simple activities required in most job areas, such as walking, lifting, standing and recalling instructions.
If your condition is preventing you from completing these activities for at least a year, the claims inspector will move to the next question. If not, they will decide that you’re not disabled.
3. Is Your Condition Registered on The Disabling Condition List?
The SSA usually examines your capability to work irrespective of the condition you’re claiming. Nevertheless, they have a list of confirmed medical conditions that are so severe that automatically deprives someone of the ability to work.
Once the list does not contain the condition you state, the SSA will most likely automatically consider you disabled. If your stated condition is not on the list, the examiner will determine if it can be compared with any condition on the list. Once disability status is undecided, the SSA will go the next question.
4. Can You Continue Working as You Did Before?
To be eligible for SSDI benefits, your condition must greatly affect your ability to do simple activities required in most job areas, such as walking, lifting, standing and recalling instructions.
If your condition is preventing you from completing these activities for at least a year, the claims inspector will move to the next question. If not, they will decide that you’re not disabled.
5. Are You Capable of Doing Other Types of Work?
The SSA usually examines your capability to work irrespective of the condition you’re claiming. Nevertheless, they have a list of confirmed medical conditions that are so severe that automatically deprives someone of the ability to work.
Once the list does not contain the condition you state, the SSA will most likely automatically consider you disabled. If your stated condition is not on the list, the examiner will determine if it can be compared with any condition on the list. Once disability status is undecided, the SSA will go the next question.
