here are people who survived COVID-19 but have, sometimes debilitating symptoms months later. This is leading to the discussion of “does long-haulers qualify for disability benefits”?
Some suffering from extreme memory loss, constant exhaustion, or severe headaches are unable to return to work. Now people are looking into the Family and Medical Leave Act as well as Social Security Disability Insurance to see if it may help those suffering from the lingering effects of COVID-19.
COVID-19 survivors are the newest group to apply for federal disability coverage and to see if they are eligible. Some factors they look into to see if you qualify are”
· Medical diagnosis
· Evidence of the condition affecting your ability to work
· Disability has to last for some time
Researchers are still defining the most common symptoms to establish how many “debilitating” symptoms of long-haulers are so better advise and qualify those who need assistance.
