It takes a little more to qualify for disability than it does to qualify for retirement. To qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you must have worked long enough and recently enough under the current laws. For each year you work, you can earn up to four credits, maximum. Each credit is based on a certain amount of money earned; the amount of earnings required for a credit usually increase each year, as general wage levels increase.

Under the Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI/Title II), there are three basic categories of individuals who can qualify for cash benefits on the basis of disability: A person under age 65 who worked long enough to be covered under Social Security and then had to stop working due to a disability.

Weekly compensation benefits are paid to surviving children of workers who have been killed in the course of employment or as a result of a work-related injury. If a worker has died due to an occupational disease, the benefits will also be paid. The amount paid is usually equal to two-thirds of the deceased worker's weekly salary. Some states put a limit on the amount of the award; while others limit the number of weeks or years the money will be available to survivors.

A disability is defined by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a person's inability to perform any kind of work for which he or she is suited because of an injury or a medical condition. In order to qualify, the disability must be expected to last for at least one year or result in death. The disability can be a result of a physical or mental condition or a combination of a number of such conditions.

Under the federal Social Security Disability Act, "disability" means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or is expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Social Security disability benefits or SSD are paid to individuals who have worked in the recent years. Usually you have to work five out of the last 10 years.

No. You have to be disabled for at least a year or be expected to be disabled for a least a year. If you expect to be out of work for a year or more due to illness or injury, you should file for Social Security Disability benefits.

Working and receiving benefits is possible under very limited circumstances. Generally, if your wages are not "gainful," less than $800.00 gross wages per month, or your work is not "substantial," then you can work and also get Social Security Disability benefits. Also, once you are found disabled you can get a trial work period of up to 9 months total (not necessarily consecutive), during which you can try work while still getting Social Security Disability benefits.

Anyone, regardless of age, may receive disability benefits so long as his or her disability meets Social Security's definition of disability. Under certain conditions, a disabled worker's family may qualify for disability benefits, as well. For example, the following family members may be eligible to receive disability benefits under Social Security: A spouse of any age who is caring for the worker's disabled child, so long as the child is also receiving benefits.

For disability insurance benefits, payments are based on how much you have worked and earned in the past. For supplemental security income benefits, there is a base amount that an individual with no other income receives. Payments are reduced if the individual has any other type of income.

You will receive Social Security Disability benefits as long as you remain disabled and unable to work. Your benefits will not run out because you did not contribute enough into the Social Security system.

Until the Social Security Administration completes a Continuing Disability Review (CDR) and finds evidence of medical improvement, or you regain your ability to return to work. If you were employed five out of the last ten years under Social Security before becoming disabled, you have enough earnings for benefits. If you are 31 years of age or less, the requirements are less since such individuals have not worked for a long time.

The Social Security Administration reduces your disability benefits, if you receive worker's compensation benefits that are calculated into your claim, and it depends upon the type of worker's compensation that you receive.

Social Security benefits are determined by wages reported each year for you. Benefits are calculated on the earnings a person receives during his/her lifetime. The higher the earnings and the number of years worked, the more the monthly benefit will be. Benefits are payable at full retirement age for anyone meeting the minimum criteria for social security credits (with reduced benefits available as early as age 62).
