Not only that, but the person must have been fully insured at the time they became disabled. Being fully insured means that you were working for a minimum number of quarters and paying into the Social Security system when you became disabled. Social security disability benefits are not like regular social security benefits. You must also be employed for a continued period of 12 months before you are injured or become ill to be eligible also. When a person is disabled and their eligibility is decided they can begin receiving monthly payments from the social security office.
