Non-Medical Requirements For SSI

What are the medical requirements for an SSI claim?

Before we get to the non-medical requirements, let’s go over the medical requirements. The Social Security Administration (SSA) must evaluate a person’s physical and mental impairment(s) when determining eligibility for SSI. They do this by looking at medical evidence such as lab results, physician statements, and other test results. To be eligible for SSI benefits you must have an impairment that is severe enough to qualify for disability benefits, and it must be expected to last at least 12 months or end in death.

Non-Medical Requirements

Now, non-medical requirements are those that don’t involve medical evidence, but they still need to be satisfied for an individual to receive SSI benefits. The requirements for receiving SSI include:

• The first requirement is age. Applicants must be at least 64 years old or have a disabling condition that began before reaching 22 years of age.
• Additionally, applicants must be disabled and unable to work or have a very limited work capacity. Income is also not a medical requirement for SSI.
• In order to qualify, applicants must meet certain income requirements set forth by the Walton Law.
