Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability?

The eligibility requirements for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplement Security Income are stringent. Benefits are for those that have physical, mental or emotional impairments that prevent them from maintaining any type of gainful employment for a period of 12 months or more.

The Social Security Act requires medical documentation that proves you cannot work due to your disability. You must have a medically determinable impairment that leads to long-term disability.
