Cómo el Seguro Social evalúa su reclamo

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has particular rules to determine eligibility for SSD benefits. They will consider many factors, including your:
  • Work Credits: You must have paid into the Social Security system through your work taxes for a certain amount of time. This time period is what the SSA calls “work credits.” You can earn up to a maximum of 4 work credits each year. If you do not have enough work credits, you may not qualify for SSD benefits no matter how severe or disabling your condition.
  • Age: There is no minimum age to qualify for SSD as long as you have sufficient work credits and your condition meets the SSA’s definition of disability. The number of work credits you need to qualify for disability benefits depends on your age and when you became disabled.
  • Total Disability: SSD benefits are not available to those with partial or short-term disabilities. The SSA determines if you are totally disabled based on you inability to work. You may be considered disabled if:
    • You cannot do work that you did before your disability;
    • You cannot adjust to other work because of your medical condition(s); and
    • Your disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least 1 year or result in death.
The SSA has a strict process for evaluating SSD claims. That is why it is so important for you to complete your application with thorough and accurate information.
