What does it mean to be “determined disabled by the Social Security Administration?”
SSA has a detailed process for reviewing medical and work information about an applicant and making a determination regarding whether the individual meets the specific rules about disability that are established in law. Individuals who have been determined “disabled” by the SSA, and are eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Disabled Widow’s or Widower’s Benefits, Disabled Adult Child Benefits, or are determined disabled by the SSA based on visual impairment are all eligible for the discount card.
