Explanation:

Analyze the requirements for Social Security Disability benefits

To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, an individual must meet the strict definition of disability. The impairment must be expected to result in death, or must have lasted or be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months.

Evaluate the given options

• A. Tiene al menos 65 años (Is at least 65 years old): Incorrect. Disability benefits can be received at any age before full retirement age.
• B. Ha solicitado Medicare (Has applied for Medicare): Incorrect. Medicare eligibility for disability recipients generally begins after receiving disability benefits for 24 months, not immediately upon the first payment.
• C. Se incapacitó hace 12 meses (Became disabled 12 months ago): Incorrect. While there is a 5-month waiting period, they do not need to have been disabled for a full 12 months before receiving their first payment, as long as the expectation of duration is met.
• D. Se espera que su incapacidad dure al menos 12 meses (Her disability is expected to last at least 12 months): Correct. This directly matches the core eligibility criteria that the disability must be expected to last for at least 12 months (or result in death).

Answer:

• A. Tiene al menos 65 años
• B. Ha solicitado Medicare
• C. Se incapacitó hace 12 meses
• D. Se espera que su incapacidad dure al menos 12 meses (Correct answer)
