If individuals applying for Title II disability benefits care for their own or their spouseâs children under age 3, and have no steady earnings during the time they care for those children, they may exclude that period of care from the disability computation period. We call this the child-care dropout exclusion. SSA uses the information from Form SSA 4162 to determine if an individual qualifies for this exclusion. Respondents are applicants for Title II disability benefits.
