I'm 60 year's old, lost my job due to the COVID-19 PANDEMIC. 10 year's ago I had 2 stent's inserted in my right coronary artery (ANGIOPLASTY). What are my chances to collect SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY at age 62?

Hi,

I have no way of knowing whether or not Social Security would consider you disabled. In general, you must be determined to be unable to do any type of gainful work in order to meet the disability guidelines, and your disabling impairment must be expected to last for at least a year or result in death before then (https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/qualify.html#anchor2).

The only way to really find out if you qualify is to file a claim with Social Security. You don't need to wait until age 62 to do that, either. Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits can be paid at any age if the person meets the requirements (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.05/handbook-0501.html).

Best, Jerry
