Applicants for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) were
required to provide detailed information about any employment that lasted less than 30 days. This
included specifics such as job title, duties, employment dates, and the name of the employer, even if the
employment was very brief.
Reporting such short-term employment often posed difficulties for social security disability applicants.
Many of these jobs might have been temporary or intermittent, making it hard for individuals to recall
precise details. Additionally, these brief positions were often not significant in terms of income or work
capacity, which could complicate the application process without providing substantial benefits to the
assessment.
