Social Security Disability Law is a complex area of law that requires a thorough understanding of the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) rules and regulations. To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, an individual must have a physical or mental impairment that prevents them from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA) and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. The SSA considers a person’s age, education, work experience, and residual functional capacity (RFC) when determining whether an individual is disabled. The SSA also considers whether an individual can adjust to other work, given their age, education, work experience, and RFC. If an individual is found to be disabled, they may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is a federal insurance program that provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system. SSI is a federal income supplement program that provides benefits to individuals who are disabled, blind, or aged and have limited income and resources. To apply for Social Security Disability benefits, an individual must complete an application and provide medical evidence of their disability. The SSA will review the application and medical evidence and make a determination as to whether the individual is disabled. If the individual is found to be disabled, they may be eligible for benefits.
