Yes, you could be, depending upon your previous work history and contributions
to Social Security as well as the current state of your health . But even if such contributions are not sufficient to qualify you for SS Disability benefits, you might still be eligible for SSI (Medicaid) or, perhaps, some other local and/or state benefit program.
Contact your local Department of Social Services which should be
able to provide you with further information on this matter.
