839 Chapter 4:Working with families • Section 12: State Family Pre-SSI Program (SFPSS) (07/2026) Meets the medical vocational guidelines found in 20 C.F.R. Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 2 for SSI. Basic work activity: Any kind of work activity that averages at least eight hours a day for which income is received, regardless of the adequacy to meet the participant’s needs. Work performed against medical advice or at an activity center or sheltered workshop is not basic work activity. Light work: Work that requires lifting no more than 20 pounds at a time. Frequent lifting or carrying objects weighing up to 10 pounds and requires occasional stooping. It also requires standing or walking for a total of approximately six hours of an eight-hour workday. Past relevant: Work that the individual has performed in the last 15 years and that constitutes substantial gainful activity as defined in 20 CFR 404.1574 and 404.1575, effect November 1, 2003. Also, the past relevant work must have lasted long enough for the participant to learn the techniques, acquire the necessary information, and develop the facilities needed for average performance of the job situation. Sedentary work: Work that requires lifting no more than 10 pounds at a time and occasionally lifting or carrying articles such as docket files, ledgers, and small tools. Although sitting is involved, a certain amount of walking and standing is often necessary in carrying out job duties. Periods of walking and standing should total no more than two hours of an eight-hour workday and sitting should total approximately six hours of an eight-hour workday. Most unskilled sedentary jobs require good use of the hands and fingers for repetitive hand/finger actions. Severe physical impairment: An impairment that significantly limits the participant’s physical ability to do basic work activity. Unskilled work: Requires little or no judgment to do simple duties that can be learned on the job within 30 days. Participants are not eligible if ODHS|OHA determines that drug addiction or alcoholism is material to their disability. These participants cannot be considered impaired on that diagnosis of drug addiction or alcoholism alone. On the other hand, a diagnosis of drug addiction or alcoholism should not have an effect on a disability evaluation that is averse to the participant. Drug addiction and alcoholism are diagnostic terms; they do not denote impairment value or severity. It is necessary to evaluate the severity of the impairment which may be associated with, manifested by, resulting from, or coexisting with these diagnoses. In making the decision, the key issue is whether the participant would continue to meet the definition of disability even if drug or alcohol use were to stop.
