NEW ORLEANS -- Poppy seeds can indeed result in a false positive on a drug test, researchers said here.
In 2016, a worker must earn $1,260 to earn one work credit. In order to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, you will generally need to have earned a total of 20 work credits, although there are age exceptions to this rule.
To receive Social Security Disability benefits, you must have earned at least 20 credits during the last ten years and you must be fully insured. Twenty credits is equivalent to 20 3-month periods of work in which you have paid into the Social Security system and have earned enough money to secure a credit.
