You say she is a resident, but you don't mention if she is a legal citizen.
If she is not a legal citizen, she is not entitled to disability.
If she is, and has just come back to the US and is working for her disability credits, then there should be no problem.
It's just a legality question...if she's legal, yes, if she's not, no.
Good luck.

I don't think she can apply for that...even people born in USA sometime still have hard time to apply for that...but she can go to Government free Hospital to treat that...just a long line to wait but she doesn't do anything for right now,,,right?

Best to contact the embassy for such information, but odd are not, as she is not a citizen. It would depend on her degree of being allowed in the country.

Social security will automatically deny all claims initially. These is their way of weeding out the moochers. Appeal it and then good luck.

Any US citizen can. Especially if she is abnormally young to have ulcers.
