| How is the disability determination made? |
A procedure known as the "sequential evaluation process" is utilized and for adults, the process requires a step by step review of your current work activity, the severity of your impairments, your remaining physical and mental abilities, your past work experience, your age and education. |

Have I worked enough to qualify for social security disability benefits?
You must have worked both long enough and recently enough to qualify. The law requires that you earn a certain number of work credits in a specified time frame. You can earn up to 4 credits each year and most people need at least 20 credits over a ten-year period.
