What are the requirements for the ssa?

The requirements for the Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits, particularly for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), generally include having a qualifying work history or limited income and resources, respectively. For SSDI, applicants must have worked a certain number of years in jobs covered by Social Security and have a medical condition that meets the SSA's definition of disability. For SSI, applicants must meet income and asset limits, and also demonstrate a qualifying disability or be aged 65 or older. Additionally, U.S. citizenship or legal residency is required.
