How does SSA determine whether I am disabled?

SSA uses a 5-step evaluation process to determine if you meet the requirements to receive disability benefits.

Step 1 – Are you working over Substantial Gainful Activity?

Step 2 – Are your conditions severe?

Step 3 – Do your conditions meet or equal a medical listing?

Step 4 – Can you do your past work?

Step 5 – Can you do other work?

We Won't Take “NO” for an Answer®
