Qualifying for SSD in Modesto
If a disability is keeping you from working in Modesto or elsewhere in California, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. In order to qualify for SSD benefits, your disability must:
- Prevent you from doing your job
- Have lasted at least 12 months, or
- Be expected to last at least 12 months
You must also have earned enough Social Security work credits to be eligible to obtain benefits by paying Social Security taxes through your employer. Work credits are based on your total yearly income. In most cases, claimants must have worked at least 10 years in order to qualify, but younger workers may qualify with fewer credits. You must also have worked at least five of the last 10 years in order to qualify.
