Caring for Your Physical Health
Certain types of cancer qualify for Social Security or SSI disability benefits automatically after you have a simple diagnosis. For other types of cancer, whether benefits will be automatically granted depends on how far the cancer has progressed. The compensation threshold is $72,000 ($120,000 x 60%) for wages paid in 2018 and $75,000 ($125,000 x 60%) for wages paid in 2019. Paid leave provided under a short-term disability policy may qualify for the PFML credit if it meets the minimum requirements. See Notice 2018-71 for more details on the PFML credit.
