What must individuals claiming ADA protection demonstrate about their impairment?

It causes financial hardship
It substantially limits one or more major life activities
It results directly from their current job
It is recognized by all medical associations

The correct answer is: It substantially limits one or more major life activities

Individuals claiming ADA protection must demonstrate that their impairment substantially limits one or more major life activities. This means that the impairment must significantly hinder a person's ability to perform basic tasks or participate in major activities that are essential to daily life. Financial hardship, medical recognition, or being job-related are not factors in determining ADA protection. It is important to note that the ADA seeks to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination, not solely provide financial benefits.
