What must occur for someone to apply for Social Security disability benefits?

Be totally disabled for 3 months
Be totally disabled for 4 months
Be totally disabled for 5 months
Be totally disabled for 6 months

The correct answer is: Be totally disabled for 5 months

To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, an individual must demonstrate that they are totally disabled for a minimum of five months. This period, known as the "waiting period," begins the first month after the individual has established that they are unable to work due to a medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death. The requirement emphasizes the necessity of a sustained inability to work, serving as a safeguard to ensure that the benefits are allocated to those who have a significant and permanent disability. Individuals may not apply for benefits until they have been disabled for five months, as this threshold helps determine the prognosis and likelihood of returning to work. This waiting period aligns with the intent of providing support for those with long-term disabilities rather than those who may face temporary impairments.
