Although Social Security disability determinations are administered by the individual states, all 50 states follow the same set of guidelines because Social Security is a federal program.
First, the person must meet Social Security insurance requirements by having earned enough work credits, and having been employed recently enough, to qualify for coverage. Under certain circumstances, a claimant with an insufficient work record may qualify for benefits under a parent's or spouse's earnings record.
Second, a disability must be considered severe enough to prevent employment for at least 12 months, or to result in death. This must be documented in the medical records.
The Social Security Blue Book lists severity criteria for specific diseases or disorders, as well as the supporting evidence needed to demonstrate impairment. You can access a copy of the current Blue Book (the same one examiners use) via Related Links, below.
