Attorneys Consider “Gainful Activity” Clause in Social Security

Lawyers say the Social security Administration (SSA) defines “substantial gainful activity” as one measurement of qualifying for Social Security disability. Attorneys say this refers to any work that requires performance of significant physical or mental duties, or both. Further, our Stockton and Modesto Social Security Disability lawyers explain that “gainful activity” is employment that realistically contributes to your ability to support yourself and your family. According to our Stockton and Modesto Social Security Disability attorneys, the SSA typically considers earnings over $1000 per month to be gainful. Our Social Security disability lawyers help demonstrate that your condition truly prevents you from performing substantial gainful activity and qualifies you for support from Social Security.
