I RECEIVE SSDI DUE TO A PERMANTLY DISSABLED RIGHT ARM AND HAND THAT IS WHY I TYPE IN ALL CAPS, I. I STILL WANT TO WORK THOUGH DOING WHAT, I DON'T KNOW. CAN I WORK AND RECEIVE SSDI AND IS THERE AN INCOME LIMIT? I have MS and have not worked since Will I lose my SSDI benefit? Do I inform SSA about my gainful employment? How do I do this and what is the process?

Hi Joey, Certainly not!

I am trying to get self employed work. I have been setting up a few advertising projects on the internet.

I have only made a few hundred dollars over several months. If i call ssdi and set up a program with a VR or EN will they penalize me for not contacting them right away? As many of us on ssdi we are ignorant on many of these issues. SSDI has never sent me any info on going back to work. I just stumbled on this. Very nerve wracking to think of possible repercussions Hi there, I would report this as soon as possible.

You have not earned enough to be disqualified, but you may have to repay some of your earnings. Hi Juan, You absolutely can! However, you may need to consult with the SSA if you're receiving disability benefits, they can best advise you on any limits to work you might have. Yes you can work. It will explain how work income is considered with SSDI.

No you will not lose your benefits if that is all you earn.

But, your SSDI check may be reduced after a 9 month Trial Work Period TWP. I have MS with TENant fall into the same category. My wife was recently 2 years ago diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. Since she was unable to work but the doctors could not diagnose she was unable to file for SSDI etc. Now that they figured out what she has she is told it is too late to file because she has not worked in 25 years. Was told that if she filed when she was first sick she would have been eligible however they did not know whatwas wrong with her.

Have seen an attourney and he said she cannot file because it is too late. How is this fair, she was working as a Physicians assistant and home healthcare provider until she became ill. But because the medical community many of them could not dianose Lupus 25 years ago it is her fault and she has to suffer.

I am a disabled Veteran and until a year or so ago I was able to support us but now my disabilty is getting worse and I too cannot work. I am thinking on applying but that does not help my wifes medical needs. Her medical bills and medications are far too much for me anymore. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get her qualified for SSDI?

Can I work part-time and still collect my benefits? If so, how much can I earn? There are specific regulations about working. This means that if a person earns more than this amount, the Social Security Administration will no longer consider that person to be disabled. Before doing any type of work, I would call your local Social Security representative to make sure you will not compromise your benefits. Should i be intitled to 12 months back pay. Hi Floyd, thank you for your question.

You will be entitled to 12 months of back pay if the examiner or judge determines that your onset date is 17 months or more prior to the application date. You can read more about back pay at our Social Security Back Pay page.

I have attempted to work unsuccessfully and was fired within six months can i still qualify for benefits with mental and digestive disability?

HOW MUCH INCOME CAN YOU EARN ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY?

Hi Alberta, There are many ways to qualify with mental disabilities. Feel free to read more about how to qualify with mental disorders. It will all depend on how the disorder affects you and your ability to work, which it sounds like you attempted to do.

Consider filling out our Free Disability Evaluation to speak with an attorney about your options. Hi there, No, you cannot receive partial SSDI. SSDI is for people who are completely disabled and unable to work whatsoever. If fibromyalgia aggravates you but does not prevent you from working, you will not be approved for SSDI. I have been off work for more than a year now! I am trying to find a job! I just found out today that I have an interview at my old job. I have not received any ssi at all!

My mother in law is telling me not to go back to work because she wants me to get social security! I want to know can I go back to work and still get ssi??? I really want to go back to work!!! Will you please tell me what I can do??? I have psoriatic arthritis,border line diabetic,serve arthritis and numbness in both feet.

I was diagnosed at 28 and I am 42 now. I have high blood pressure,I take a fluid pill,it seem to be the only thing that keeps the fluid under control,i also have PVC,extra heart beat,just a hand full of health problems.

I was married from 18 yrs,and was wonderful up until about the 16 yr,for whatever reason he was not happy anymore. He ended up living. Now i am in a position where i will be homeless March 31 I need help and have no idea what to do.

Anyone have any suggestions? Hi Jennifer, That is a really tough situation. I am so sorry to hear about it. If your benefits are SSDI and not SSI, you could always consider renting a room for cheap until you get approved for section 8. I know you can find a lot of great places on Craigslist. I really wish you the best of luck.

I found a job I could do its 6 hours a week, cleaning a PO not much to it. I cant sit or stand for long period cant walk a lot, This job is easy If I took it will I lose my benfits, Pay is a month. Always report your earnings to the SSA, but you should be fine.

I always worked hard, that is why I draw so much. I want to try a part time job again but it pays a lot less than I draw now.

Or a scam to get people off disability? How much can I earn during a trial month, over the nine months and still draw my benefits. If I can not work during the nine month trial can I go back to the way things were before trying to work again?

Hi Fred, I would highly recommend the ticket to work program. I read the thread all the way through.. By accepting this position, and keeping the SGA always under the limit, would I ever be in critical territory of losing my SSDI payment?

Multiple Sclerosis is a covert sometimes overt illness with good, half way and some decent days. I must protect my benefits. I worked my rear end off till I was 33 when I suffered a stroke and had my diagnosis. What is your advice? Thanks for your time.

Hi Scotty, No, so long as you stay under SGA, you will not lose your benefits. I have been receiving SDI California since January of this year. It started as partial until August 18th when I and my employer finally put me on disability retirement. I applied for SSDI and was denied. I am currently applying for continued benefits for SDI because I am still not able to go back to work. My SDI will be running out within a couple of months.

I am wondering if, since SSDI says I can work part time, when this runs out I can apply for unemployment? SSDI says I can do part time work but my employer will not take me back until medically cleared with or without accommodations.

My doctor will not clear me. I have multi-level spine issues. The WC AME will not put my neck and back PS, only shoulders and elbows. Not receiving anything from WC because still fighting after almost 10 years. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Should I apply for SSI? They take taxes and insurance out of that. Hi Brenda, You should NOT file for unemployment while trying to get SSDI benefits.

How Much Extra Money Can You Make Being on SSDI? | pupuzifecose.web.fc2.com

This is because the two programs completely contradict each other. SSDI benefits are for people who are so disabled they are unable to work again, and unemployment is for people who are trying to find a job.

I have been on Ssdi for 6 months and get I receive ssdi and do hair.

How Much Money Can I Make & Not Lose Social Security Disability Benefits? | pupuzifecose.web.fc2.com

What do I do and can I get penalized for this? Hi Sheila, Unfortunately, all you can do is report whatever additional income you know of and see what happens. The good news is that if you are disqualified from SSDI benefits, it is easy to reinstate them the following month if you can prove that you are no longer earning an income that will disqualify you.

Keep in mind that the more you earn, the more your benefits will be affected. The SSA will start to reduce some of your monthly benefits to make up for your additional income. But you also say that the more you earn, the more your benefits will be affected. Thanks for your help! Hi Jackie, Benefits are not decreased proportionally, they would be paid in full.

You can make over the 1, dollars during this period and have no change in benefits. I tried working but could not physically or mentally work more then two days so I had no choice but to quit. Should I be worried bc I mentally can handle the waiting till they get back with me.

Hi Tammy, I'm sorry to hear you're so worried! You don't need to be, because if you have not earned more than the dollar limit for individuals or the 1, dollar limit for couples, you'll still be eligible for benefits. I was approved for SSI and Disability a week ago. In the waiting to be approved I also found a small job paying a month. If I work this small job will they take away my disability payment?

I have two kids and do not recieve money for them. I cant survive off of just the a month. Hi M, You can still receive benefits while working, however your benefits may change depending on your income.

CAN I WORK AND STILL RECEIVE SSDI?

I just got hired by a movie theater and the pay is like On the paperwork it says if i receive SSI I put yes. Now, I wanted to know will this only affect me on?
