The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines disability as the inability to

definition of disability?
A. At least 12 months
B. At least 6 months
C. Indefinitely
D. At least 3 months - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅A
To meet the SSA's definition of disability, a medically determinable impairment
must last or be expected to last for at least 12 months. This duration is a key factor
in determining whether a claimant is eligible for disability benefits.
What does "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) refer to in the context of Social
Security disability evaluations?
A. Work that involves significant physical or mental effort and results in earnings
above a certain threshold
B. Work that requires a high level of education or training
C. Work that is performed on a part-time basis
D. Work that is considered meaningful but does not generate income -
ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅A
"Substantial gainful activity" (SGA) refers to work that involves significant
physical or mental effort and results in earnings above a certain threshold set by the
SSA. If a claimant is capable of engaging in SGA, they are generally not
considered disabled under SSA guidelines.
Which of the following is true about the SSA's definition of disability?
,A. It requires a medically determinable physical or mental impairment
B. It is based solely on a person's inability to perform their past work
C. It applies only to those who are permanently disabled
D. It does not consider the claimant's age or education level - ACCURATE
ANSWER✅✅A
The SSA's definition of disability requires a medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that prevents the claimant from engaging in substantial gainful
activity. This impairment must be expected to last at least 12 months or result in
death.
What role does the claimant's past work play in the SSA's disability evaluation
process?

economy
B. It is used to assess the claimant's residual functional capacity
C. It is not considered in the disability evaluation process
D. It determines the claimant's level of exertion - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅A
The claimant's past work helps the SSA determine if the claimant can perform any
work in the national economy. This assessment is part of the five-step sequential
evaluation process, where the SSA examines the claimant's past relevant work and
other factors to determine if they can adjust to other work despite their impairment.
