Step-5 of SSA’s 5-Step evaluation of a claim for disability benefits
Jul
31
Regardless if you have applied for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Insurance Benefits (SSI), the Social Security Administration uses a 5-Step sequential evaluation process to determine if an individual is disabled. If the proof fails at any Step, except Step-3, a finding not disabled will be issued.
Step-5: Other Work
A finding of disabled is warranted at Step-5 if the evidence establishes that an individual cannot perform other work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy.
