Attorneys Consider “Gainful Activity” Clause in Social Security

Lawyers say the Social security Administration (SSA) defines “substantial gainful activity” as one measurement of qualifying for Social Security disability. Attorneys say this refers to any work that requires performance of significant physical or mental duties, or both. Further, our Sacramento Social Security Disability lawyers explain that “gainful activity” is employment that realistically contributes to your ability to support yourself and your family. According to our Sacramento Social Security Disability attorneys, the SSA typically considers earnings over $1000 per month to be gainful. Our Social Security disability lawyers help demonstrate that your condition truly prevents you from performing substantial gainful activity and qualifies you for support from Social Security.

Lawyers Highlight Disabling Conditions that Qualify for Social Security Disability

Sacramento Social Security Disability lawyers explain that the Social Security Administration created 14 categories that make up a list of impairments. Our Social Security disability attorneys have provided the category list at the right side of this page.

However, our Sacramento Social Security Disability lawyers say each impairment category comes with an extensive explanation of the specific qualifying conditions for Social Security. Disability attorneys say that many workplace injuries, such as accidental amputations or back injuries, fall under the category of impairments to the musculoskeletal system.
