how long do you have to be off work for disability benefits
Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) Are paid to individuals who have worked in the recent years. Usually you have to work 5 out of the last 10 years. For individuals under 31 years old, the requirements are a little different since they have not been in the work force as long. Are paid to individuals who are low income individuals/families and disabled whether or not the individual has worked in the past.
