Hi Berry,
If you are paid in cash, you may want to contact the SSA regarding this as you may be required to report this money.

Hi There,

There is no limit to the amount of hours you can work, your monthly income cannot exceed the 2017 SGA limit.

Hi Alice,
You may be able to, but it's a good idea to check in with the SSA before making any life changes that could affect your benefits as they would be able to give you specific information about your case.

I have lumbar disk disease, cervical neuralgia, cervical stenosis , cervical spondylosis and carpal tunnel carpal tunnel disease. I was told to apply for SS disability.

Hi Krystal,
If you are already receiving disability in your state, you may want to apply for benefits now.

question my girlfriend receives SSI (not SSDI) for her daughter $735/month, Now is she able to work without losing the $735/month? If so is there a hour or max amount she can work/earn working per month?

Hi Jimmy,
Your girlfriend's daughter's benefits are based off of her mother's income, so if she has a change in income, your girlfriend's daughter's benefits may change based off of that.

Hi Bonnie,

The $1,1170 threshold is the maximum amount you can earn while on disability benefits without losing your benefits, it has nothing to do with an amount of hours you can work.

Hi there,
The SSA may reduce your benefits one dollar for every two that you earn for SSI benefits, but your SSDI benefits may not change. It's a good idea to contact the SSA regarding this.

Hi there,
You may be able to do so, however it's always a good idea to contact the SSA before doing so.

Is it true you can earn as much as you want the first eight months without loosing your benefits?

Hi Tina,
That is not correct. You may be able to earn more than the SGA of $1,170 a month without change to your benefits under certain circumstances, but that is not true for every person who works while receiving disability.
