Hi there,
You may want to contact the unemployment office for New Jersey, they may be able to let you know what you would be eligible for as far as unemployment benefits.

If you're receiving it due to the death of a loved one, then you may not have restrictions on income or work.

Hi La'cedra,
You may be able to apply again, as it seems that you had been receiving it based on your parent's income. You may want to contact your local social security office, they can help you apply for benefits and explain your eligibility.
I have been disabled since the age of 3. My mother started receiving ssi for me at age 15 (I can't remember the amount). After my father died, I found out I could receive the death benefits because I was disabled before I was 21. It was $255.00 a month because he didn't work much. So my question is why the ssa stopped those payments after I started working. I was told back then (in 2006) that it would never be affected.

Hi Cathy,
They are generally not affected, however if you are able to earn over $1,170 a month, you may not be considered eligible due to your ability to do Substantial Gainful Activity.
I am on s.s.d. and was wanting to take a small job sitting with a lady in a wheelchair. how many hours could I work a month?

Hi Deborah,
The number of hours don't matter, as long as it doesn't exceed the substantial gain activity (SGA). The SGA for 2017 is $1,170/month or $1,920/month if you are blind.

A friend of mine has been receiving ssd for some time now. He wants to go back to work full time. Can he do this and still have his medicare or will he lose all benefits?

Your friend would still be eligible for medicare for about 8 1/2 years if they return to work, even if their SSDI benefits are cancelled.

I am confused about the whole TWP of 9 months at $810(?) But not going over $1140. So if i understand this right.. I can work for 9 months up to a total of 36 months making the $810 amount but not going over the $1140 amount or I will lose my SSDI payments until I make under that amount..then they will reinstate my SSDI payment for that month and 2 following months even if I go over that amount but then it will be taken away again? I can stay under the $810amount and not worry but if I go over it is a TWP so I can make berween $810 & $1140 for 36 months before they consider that I am not disabled and take away my SSDI money or go over the $1140 and they take it away?
In reply to I am confused about the whole by Ali (not verified)
Hi Ali,
You can make more than the SSA's figure of $1,140 while in a TWP, however after you complete the trial work period, you would only be eligible for benefits for months where you made less that that figure, for 36 months.
Currently I am receiving SSDI payments. Can my spouse make any additional income?
In reply to Currently I am receiving SSDI by Bill (not verified)
Hi Bill,
Yes your spouse can. You were approved for SSD based on your own work history and current medical condition; therefore, your spouse’s income or current employment status has absolutely nothing to do with your SSDI benefits.

I am wanting to try to re-enter the workforce. I am going to use the TWP. Is there forms I need to fill out or do I need to contact ss directly?
In reply to I am wanting to try to re by Kristi (not verified)
Hi Kristi,
As far as I'm aware, it automatically starts after any month that you earn over $840 ( in 2017). You may want to contact the SSA regardless, as they can give you specific information about your case.
