There are two forms of Social Security Disability: Social Security Disability Insurance, which every worker earns by collecting work credits and pays in through payroll taxes, and Supplemental Security Income, which you can get even if you have never been employed.
The disability determination done by the Social Security Administration asks that a claimant prove they are unable to perform any job in the economy and that they meet the SSA’s definition of disabled. Also, it is not enough that you are unable to keep working at a job you previously had, as you may be able to do a job in a different manner, such as by sitting and not standing.
