What non-medical factors does the SSDI program consider for Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) in Mississippi? In Mississippi, the SSDI program evaluates several non-medical factors when determining your Residual Functional Capacity (RFC). These factors include your age, education level, and work experience, which can affect your ability to perform different types of work. The SSA also considers your ability to adapt to new work environments and how your social background may influence your functional capabilities. Ultimately, these elements help shape the assessment of what work you can still do despite your disability.
