- Work Credits: Applicants must have earned at least 40 work credits with 20 of these credits earned in the past 10 years.

Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) Limits for 2025
- Non Blind Beneficiaries: The monthly SGA limit for non-blind individuals is $1,530 in 2025 reflecting a 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). Exceeding this threshold could result in a denial of benefits.

These limits are updated annually to reflect changes in the economy.
