Social Security - Disability Definition

The Definition of Disability According to the Social Security Administration

Definition of Disability

The definition of disability, according to the Social Security Administration, is based on a person's ability to work. By definition, you are disabled under the Social Security rules if you can't do the same work you performed before you suffered medical problems. You must also prove that you can't adjust or learn another form of work because of your disability. Additionally, to satisfy the SSA's definition of disability, your condition must be long-term (lasting at least one year) or result in your death.

The Social Security Administration hase a very strict definition of disability. The SSA only pays for complete disability. You can not receive benefits if you are only partially disabled, or disabled for less than one year.

The Social Security Administration assumes that you or your family will have other means of support, such as workers compensation or insurance, during a short term disability.This assumption may or may not be correct.
