MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Orta v. Colvin, Case No. 1:12-CV-00837-SMS (E.D. Cal. 2013):
The sequential process begins with a "de minimis screening device to dispose of groundless claims." Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 1273, 1290 (9th Cir.1996). At steps one and two, the claimant must verify that she is not meaningfully employed and in fact has severe impairments. Once a claimant passes this screening, the remaining steps examine whether she is disabled.
