What are the requirements to receive Social Security Disability Income?

0

Generally you must have earned Social Security insurance, which usually (but not always) means you must have had a full-time job for five out of the last 10 years before your disability. You must be disabled, which means you are not able to do significant, gainful activity (SGA), for a 12-month period, or not likely to be able to do so over a 12-month period from the date you are disabled. Significant gainful activity (SGA) means not being able to earn more than about $1,000 a month on a sustainable basis, which means 8 hours a day and 5 days a week on a consistent basis. The $1,000 maximum amount is increased periodically by the Social Security Administration. You must be able to show you cannot do work based on your age, education, and functional limitations. You must be able to show that you cannot do any of your past relevant work and cannot do any other work. For example, if there are jobs available that you are able to do, but you dont wish to do or they dont pay what you are use
