Who qualifies for disability benefits ?Potentially any individual may qualify for Social Security disability, if their medical and/or mental conditions have prevented them from being able to work. There are two programs, which are administered by the Social Security Administration, Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security disability is a program that is based upon your work record. What do I mean when I say based on your work record? Each year an individual’s earnings may entitle them to as many as four quarters of coverage. Quarters of coverage determine if an individual is insured to receive a Social Security disability benefit. The advantage to Social Security disability is that there are often benefits that can be paid to your dependents. However even if you do not have a sufficient amount of quarters of coverage you may still qualify for disability under the need based Supplemental Security Income program, however eligibility to receive a benefit under this program depends on your income and resources.
