Who can use this

  • Eligibility is partially based on an individual's work history, requiring five years of work in the last decade and sufficient credits to be considered 'insured.' A severe disability must prevent the individual from working for at least 12 months or lead to death, with periodic medical reviews to assess the ability to return to work.
