Do I Qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits in Michigan?

To qualify for Social Security Disability Benefits in Michigan, you must be totally disabled from employment and meet the Social Security Administration requirements for prior earnings.

As defined by the Social Security Act, a disability means:

Inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or result in death.

Therefore, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits if you can answer yes to one or more of the following questions:

• Do you have a severe physical or mental impairment that prevents you from participating in any type of gainful employment?
  
• Do you have a disability that prevents you from working at any job, rather than just your previous employment?
  
• Has your disability lasted, or is it expected to last, for at least one year?
  
• Is your disability life threatening?
