To be eligible for this benefit program, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be disabled, blind, or age 65.
• Have limited income and resources.
• Be a U.S. citizen, national, or lawfully present alien meeting additional requirements.
• Reside in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands, except for a child of military parent(s) assigned to permanent duty anywhere outside the United States or certain students temporarily abroad.

Other factors may affect your eligibility, including:

• Marital status.
• Income and resources of certain members in your household, like a spouse or a parent of a minor child.

Based on the information you gave, you may not meet the legal definition of a disability. Although you indicated that you have a disability, since you are working, you may not meet the legal criteria. Please visit SSA’s Publications Page to find out more.

This screening tool only asks very general questions about your income and resources, citizenship, living arrangements and, if you are under 65, your disability. SSA will ask you for more detailed information. If you are under 65, they will also need more information about your disability.

To find out more about how SSA decides if you are disabled, visit SSA’s Publications Page, select "Disability" under "Topics," and review Social Security Publication Number 05-10029.
