Social Security Disability in Anaheim
Receiving Disability Insurance in Anaheim, California

Social Security Disability Insurance in Anaheim is only awarded to disabled claimants if they have paid employment taxes and have earned 20-40 work credits over the course of their employment working jobs that are “covered” by Social Security. The amount of work credits needed to be insured will vary by age at the time of disability. Most full-time workers in Anaheim can earn 4 work credits per year.
