My uncle applied for that and they told him the same thing. You suppose to work 2 years or more to be qualified for social security/disability. Which sucks.

As I understand it, as an American citizen, you need to have worked 40 full quarters in order to qualify for ss. With a disability, I’m not sure. As a non citizen, you need only have worked 20 quarters. Good luck to your mom.
