If she last worked in 2000, her earnings credits may not be recent enough for her to qualify. 20 of her 40 credits need to have been earned in the last 10 years prior to becoming disabled. The only way to know for sure, is to talk to the social security office and find out.
Make sure she files for ss disability, she going to need it one day anyway, better get it while it is still around, you never know what obama and his friends might try next. If she has issues for get about working, get that disability or at least try.
