What is needed to claim disabled for Georgia tax break?

No.  You are not considered disabled until you meet the qualifications.  To qualify for disability, in Georgia, you need to have a condition that prevents you from working for at least a year. You’ll also need to meet certain work history requirements (for SSDI) or be within certain income limits (for SSI). For more on these requirements, read our full write-up here.

• SSDI (Supplemental Security Disability Insurance) is for Americans who have worked and paid into social security. They’re like getting your retirement benefits ahead of time: You’ll qualify for free Medicare and the weekly payments that you would have started receiving at 67.
• SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is for Americans who don’t meet the work history requirements of SSDI and have very little income and assets. SSI is needs-based and usually pays out less per month. It also grants you Medicaid.
