Social Security & Grid Eligibility

What is meant by Grid Eligibility?

Many people apply for Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability benefits through the Social Security Administration. To prevent arbitrary and unfair approval/disapproval of claims, cases are evaluated based on a set of rules regarding medical conditions. In addition to the medical guidelines to determine eligibility, there is another set of rules that focus on age, educational background, and work history.

This second set of rules is laid out in a table with "grid" columns and so they have come to be known as the "grid rules" or the "grid eligibility" factors.

Factors in the grid include:

  • Age
  • Ability to work partially
  • Ability to do work sitting but not standing
  • Many more

These are used by those evaluating your application to determine if you meet the definition of disabled.

A Sacramento Social Security Disability lawyer should be fully familiar with these grids and be able to help you to understand whether or not you are qualified for Social Security benefits. Call our firm at (888) 421-8705 to find out more.
