How Social Security Determines Individual Eligibility

The Social Security Administration considers a number of factors when looking at a person’s application for SSD. They will review job history, physical ability, mental health, age and education. However, this process is complicated, and a decision isn’t always easy to understand. The SSA will use five steps to determine if a person qualifies for disability. First, they assess a person’s ability to maintain gainful employment. Second, they review the person’s physical and mental health as determined by a physician. Next, they look at a qualified list of impairments to see if the person’s disability is on the list and if the disability will last for more than a year. Fourth, they look at previous work the person has done. Finally, they consider if a person could find other gainful employment. Age is a main consideration in the last step, so the older a person is, the more likely that the SSA will rule that they have a disability.
