While I am still currently working, I am no longer able to work in the same capacity and I am earning much less. Am I eligible for Social Security benefits? Social security benefits are granted under certain conditions. The most important condition is the degree of your disability as determined by the Social Security Administration. The SSA considers you disabled if you are not able to perform the work that you did before, and that you cannot take up another line of work due to your condition. You are also classified as disabled if your illness or condition is anticipated to last for a year or if you are expected to die from your condition.
