The Work History Report is an important part of the application process to receive disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA is a government agency who assists disabled individuals. The SSA also decides who is eligible for benefits. The Work History Report is used to assist the SSA in understanding how the disability affects any work the disabled individual may be qualified to do. The Report asks the disabled person to provide information about the kind of work that he or she has performed in the past, including the types of skills needed and the physical and mental requirements of each job.
