What Is an SSA Impairment Listing?

One way that you may qualify for Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is by meeting the requirements in a Social Security Disability Listing. The listings (also called the “Blue Book”) contain details on impairments that the Social Security Administration (SSA) considers severe enough to prevent you from working.

Qualifying Disabilities

The listing of impairments applies to both DIB claims and SSI claims. Social Security updates the online disability listings with any changes. Read more about a particular disability area by clicking here.
