Child's Six Functional Domains

How SSA Evaluates Children (20 CFR 416.926a)

SSA uses six developmental domains. To qualify, the child needs marked limitation in 2 domains OR extreme limitation in 1 domain (functional equivalence). Even without a direct listing match, meeting this domain standard qualifies for SSI.

None = no limit | Mild = slight | Moderate = more than mild | Marked = serious, significantly interferes with age-appropriate functioning | Extreme = very serious, no meaningful function in domain
