US Eligibility Requirements Attorney
Your eligibility for SSD benefits (also known as Social Security Disability Insurance benefits or DIB) depends on your work history and your disability. In most cases, if you have worked five out of the last 10 years and are disabled (according to the Social Security Administration's (SSA) definition) — you are eligible, covered and will be fully insured. To be eligible for national SSI benefits, you must meet that same definition of disability and you must have sufficiently limited income and assets.
Our dedicated team of attorneys and support staff will help you answers these and other questions:
- Are you eligible for SSD benefits and when can you apply?
- What to do if you have been denied?
- What SSD benefits cover?
The hard part is getting the SSA to agree that you're disabled — a task that nearly one million people each year initially fail to accomplish.

The SSA's Five-Step Disability Determination Process
The SSA has a five-step disability evaluation process that can briefly be described with the following questions:
- Are you working? (if not, or if you are only able to earn a limited income, answer the next question)
- Is your condition severe? (if your condition is expected to result in death, our heart goes out to you and your family. Or if it has kept you from working or is expected to prevent you from working for at least 12 months, go on to the next question)
- Does your condition meet or equal a listed impairment? (if the answer here is yes, your claim for disability benefits will be granted — if not, there's still hope)
- Can you do any of your previous work? (if the government finds that your disability will not allow you to do any of your previous relevant work, answer question five)
- Are there other jobs you could do? (based on your age, medical condition and a number of other factors, the SSA will look at whether there are other jobs in your region that you could do ... if the answer is no, your claim for disability benefits will be granted)
- Are you over 50 years old? This eligibility test is substantially more lenient and easier than the test for people under the age of 50. We need only prove that you cannot do your previous relevant work. We need not prove that you cannot do any other work, just that you cannot do your previous relevant work.
