002.02(C)(ii)(1) DISABILITY CRITERIA.

Generally, an individual is disabled if the individual is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. A child through 17 years old is considered disabled if the child suffers from any medically determinable physical or mental impairment of comparable severity. See Titles II and XVI of the federal Social Security Act, as amended, for further disability criteria. The Social Security Administration has the primary responsibility of determining whether an individual meets the disability criteria.
