What non-medical factors does the SSDI program consider for Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) in Colorado? In Colorado, the SSDI program evaluates several non-medical factors when determining your Residual Functional Capacity (RFC). These factors extend beyond medical diagnoses to include your daily activities, work history, and social environment. Evaluating these elements helps the Social Security Administration (SSA) understand how your condition affects your ability to hold a job. The RFC assessment looks at your overall capabilities to perform physical and mental work-related tasks given your non-medical circumstances.
