Note: The Social Security Administration considers a person to have a disability if they cannot do work they did before and adjustments to other work cannot be made due to a medical condition.

To find the percent of men or women in an age group who received SSDI out of the total number of people who received SSDI in the same age group, divide the number of men or women in the age group who received SSDI by the total number of people in the age group who received SSDI and multiply the result by 100. Example: Of the total number of people age 45-49 who recieved SSDI, calculate the percent who were men. This calculation would be: 463,852/837,982=.554 and .554x100=55.4%
