No. Other government programs, such as the Veteran’s Affairs or Worker’s Compensation, handle disability on a percentage basis. Social Security does not do this. You will either be found disabled or not disabled. Many private insurers offer short-term disability, however Social Security does not make that distinction. To qualify for Social Security disability, your impairment must last at least 12 months.
