The general guideline is that you must have worked long and recently enough to qualify. However, it is crucial to realize that working for many years and paying Social Security taxes may not be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Work Credit<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law states that in order to be qualified, one must obtain a particular number of work credits in a specified time, which is dependent on the applicant&#8217;s age at the time he or she became disabled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can earn up to four work credits in a year, with one work credit equaling three months. Most persons require at least 20 credits acquired over a ten-year period, beginning with the year they become disabled. For younger workers, they may be able to qualify with fewer credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the required number of work credits depending on your age when you became disabled:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Before age 24:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> At least six work credits earned in 3 years before your disability occurred.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age 24 to 31:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In most cases, you will be deemed eligible if you worked for half of the period between the age of 21 and the onset of your impairment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, assume that you were disabled when you were 27 years old. In this case, you must have three years of work experience out of six years (equivalent to 12 work credits) between the ages of 21 and 27.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Age 31 or older:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Generally, you must have earned at least 20 credits in the 10-year period before the onset of your impairment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that you must count backward from the year you became disabled to determine how many work credits you have. This means that credits that are out of the year-period requirement will be wiped out or expire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this happens to you, don&#8217;t be afraid to seek the advice of an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer to assist you by examining the merits of your case. In addition to that, they will guide you on how do you apply for social security disability.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h4><b>A medical condition that fits the Social Security Act\u2019s strict definition.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Social Security Act contains a relatively restricted definition of who qualifies for disability benefits. Notably, Social Security only compensates for total disability, which means that partial or short-term disability will not be accepted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the SSA laid out three specific conditions that you need to meet to be eligible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inability to work or engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to your medical condition.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are unable to conduct the previous work or adjust to new ones due to your medical condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The medical condition must have lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months, or it will end in death.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5><b>Inability to Work or Engage in Any Substantial Gainful Activity<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, this refers to working yet earning less than a certain amount of money or the SGA level. This means that even if you have an impairment and you earn more than a certain monthly amount (SGA level), you are not eligible to receive disability benefits. The SSA determines the monthly amount, which may change yearly based on the number of conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that SGA only covers money that was earned from working and not from other sources, such as investments or inheritance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Medically Determinable Impairment<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Social Security Act clearly states that you must offer medical evidence to prove your impairment or disability to establish such a condition. Evidence may include symptoms (must be associated with any physical or mental problem), medical diagnosis, and laboratory findings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Disability Duration<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you declare that you are disabled, you must demonstrate that your impairment was severe enough to keep you disabled for at least 12 months or it may result in your death. To be clear, the 12-month rule does not imply that you must be disabled for 12 months before you apply. It may also mean that the condition is expected to last at least one year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Apply_for_Social_Security_Disability_Insurance_Benefits\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do You Apply for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Gather_all_documents_that_will_be_attached_to_your_application\"><\/span><b>Step 1: Gather all documents that will be attached to your application.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the general documents that you need to provide when filing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your original birth certificate.
