Approved for Medical now waiting to see if I qualify for medical

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Online it states I'm approved for social security disability. I received a letter stating I was approved for the medical but they have not decided whether I qualify under the non medical rules.
Online it shows I have 2 claims. One for SSDI and one for SSI (Disability). I did not apply for SSI disability but this is what it says under that link:

What does this mean and now that the medical has been approved how long will it take for the non medical. I can view my work history so I know I have enough work history. Thank you in advance

Hi there,
It means that you meet the medical qualifications, which is one half of the requirements to qualify for benefits. The SSA must determine if you meet the technical requirements, which in the case of SSI means determining if your income and financial resources are under the SSI maximum for both.

I am only going for disability Not SSI and when I did my application appointment he had already told me I worked long enough and had put enough and told me a monthly amount I would qualify for. Is that what ssa is looking at.length of time worked and amount contributed?

Hi There,

To qualify for SSDI, not only do you need to meet the medical requirements, but you need enough work credits. Work credits are earned by working and paying in Social Security. If you were told you worked enough and paid enough, he likely meant you meet the work credit requirements for your age.

Hi John, 

You will need to meet both medical and non-medical requirements. If your initial application is denied you should appeal. Good luck!

Hi Kim,

You were denied SSI, most likely because of the strict financial requirements that are needed to get approved. You can appeal that decision though.

Your SSDI application is still being reviewed. They haven't come to a decision regarding that. You will have to wait until they fully review it and make a decision before you hear back from them regarding that.
