The Social Security Administration implements very strict standards when it comes to eligibility for receiving disability insurance. This explains why many people get denied for their claims. Generally as a rule, a person, according to the SSA, "must be unable to do any substantial gainful activity due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to last for at least 12 months, or which can result to death. (Title XVI – Social Security Act)

People who receive only low-level income or are disabled regardless of any previous work experience may receive supplemental security income from SSA. This program can also be extended to young children under 18 years whose parents are also disabled or are earning little or no income at all. This program was first established as law by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 under the Old Age Pension Act, which was first passed by the Congress to provide income for retired citizens Over the years, it has been amended to also cover disabled persons as well. Today, the act is now called the Social Security Act.
