Bryan,
I previously asked you:What happens to your SSI or SSDI if you work seasonally say 8 months out of the year $1800/month?
You answer was:
may become ineligible for benefits, as that may indicate that you are able to work, and both benefits are only intended for people who are unable to make a living without those benefits.
My reply is: then why do they say you can work according to (Substantial Gainful Activity) guidelines?
They say that the SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) for blind people is $1950/month for 2017. That is approx. $23,400 per year. If you work seasonal, do they take the amount of money you earned for that year and divide it by 12 to get your average Substantial Gainful Activity amount?
Hi Ragga,
The SSA defines SGA by month, they do not determine it by how much you make a year. So, if you make over SGA one month, you may be ineligible for benefits.
Finally rec'd my ssdi, if i could ever work a part time job in the future, in GA what is the total income amount I could make without it affecting my benefits? Just curious, ive heard so many different amounts?
Hi Ragga,
The SGA amounts do not change due to occupation, there are only two figures for SGA - $1,130 a month for people who are disabled but are sighted, and $1,950 for those who are considered blind by the SSA. Your SGA amounts are not determined on an individual level.
How many hours a week and how many hours in a day can I work that considers part time? I'm currently on ssdi.Also if I have a new health condition do I report to as?
Hi there,
There is no definition of "part time" for the SSA, you just need to stay under the SSA's income limit for a trial work period, which is $840 a month.
I have small business and I am getting long term disability through work now they want me apply for cop benifit .cpp benifit effect my business income but I am not working in that business Iam owner and I never work for business.
Yes if i receive ssi benefits for 766.25,then I start working earning under 733.00 a month, let's say 732.00 a month will I keep the whole 1498.25 a month.
Hi Andre,
You may not keep the whole of your benefits, the SSA reduces benefits one dollar for every two earned, so if you earn up to $733 a month you may have a reduction of up to $ 367 in your benefit check.

If you're on SSI and are working, it may be a good idea to contact the SSA regarding your work as soon as possible.

HI Raju,
I'm not familiar with the CPP benefit, you may want to contact your local SSA office regarding this for more information.
