Puerto Ricans who can’t speak English qualify as disabled for Social Security

Yet, I wasn't qualified for Disability in Arlington, VA, after a failed attempt beheading with ~ $50,000 hospital bills and a Police report, an Asian and a woman.

Hundreds of Puerto Rico’s residents qualified for federal disability benefits in recent years because they lacked fluency in English, according to government auditors.
The Social Security Administration’s inspector general questioned the policy this month in light of the fact that Spanish is the predominant language in the U.S. territory.
Under Social Security regulations, individuals are considered less employable in the United States if they can’t speak English, regardless of their work experience or level of education.
