Hi Lisa,
You can earn up to $840 a month before you would enter a trial work period. If you're eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, you may still be eligible if you work, but Medicaid rules can vary by state. In addition, you may lose the SSI payment due to increased income.
I get SSDI but it's not enough to survive without the help from my mom. I think from what I understand you are allowed to make 1,130 per month in 2016 (before taxes right?) I plan on getting a part-time job if my doctors are OK with it. What if your job offers 401k? What if you want to get a used car? I am trying to save up for one so I can start getting out of the house. (To get a part-time job and maybe volunteer) Are those things possible and allowed? Unless I misunderstood I read in another website that you can't have any assets (house, car, money in the bank, 401k, stocks, etc). So does that mean I can't save up to buy a used car? I just don't want to lose my benefits because I am constantly running to doctors, therapists, etc but I think a part-time job would help me feel better.
Thank you!!

HI Jenn,
There are two programs, SSDI and SSI. SSI is income and financial resource based, SSDI is based on your work record. While receiving SSDI benefits, you may be able to work part time, however there are rules and restrictions to doing so, you can find an article about them here:

Hi Kiki,
If you're getting SSDI, you may not have any change in your benefits because they are based on work record, rather than income or financial resources. However, if you're receiving SSI, you may have a change in benefits if your income changes.
I am on SSDI and I just got offered a part-time job, do I have to tell my employer that I am doing the TTW program? Do I just let SS know that I have a job and give them my earnings?

Hi Deborah,
I would contact the SSA regarding the change in your employment status, but you may not need to let your new employer know. You can find some more information about the ticket to work program here:

Hi Dawn,
If you're unable to work due to your condition and you have the right work record, you may be eligible for benefits.
I draw a disability check each moth but was wondering if I could work to help make ends meet I have seizures and have had brain surgery

Hi Angie,
You may be able to, however it may be a good idea to contact the SSA office in you area for some more information about what you would be able to do.
Someone who has a website pays me on occasion to do some research work. It doesn't take long and it is sporadic. He pays me $250 a month to be available to do this work. I can do it because there is no requirement to work at the task until it's done. I can work a little, take a break, and then come back to it. Will this affect my benefits?
In reply to Someone who has a website by mike (not verified)
Hi Mike,
If you're receiving SSDI benefits, then it may not affect your benefits at all, however if you're receiving SSI the SSA may adjust your benefits based on your income.
I'm currently getting SSID and I want to know what is the procedure and what do I have to have into the social service administration building for me to work what do you need from my boss
In reply to I'm currently getting by Rudolph White (not verified)
Hi Rudolph,
You may not need to go to the Social Security Administration building, you can reach them at www.ssa.gov for more information.
I'm not sure how to post in a specific topic.
I can't find out if working PT and under SGA will raise my SSDI payment.
I know SSA does some kind of recalculation but I can find no real info.
I have a couple zero years, and two years with only a few hundred dollars
in each year in my work history.
ANY info appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Ran,
Your benefits may stay the same, as the SSA does what's called a "disability freeze". You can find some more info here:

I work full time and have MS. I tried applying for disability twice and was denied. They stated that I was able to work. Can I apply for partial disability?
In reply to I work full time and have MS. by Anonymous (not verified)
Hi there,
Unfortunately, the SSA does not offer partial disability benefits.
Do I qualify for unemployment benefits in the state of New Jersey, if I just lost my job and I am still within my 9-month "trial work period" of my SSDI? I am looking to get back to work asap. I was laid off from my new job after only 2.5 months, for no fault of my own. I do meet the minimum wage criteria using the alternate base period.
