I want to get a part time job and I'm on SSA and SSI. I am aware of the 2019 SGA. Im confused as to how many hours can you work because you cant exceed that limit. Is that with your benefits plus the money you get from work. Or just from working alone. If that makes sense.
It's your earned income from working, not including your benefits. So if you work and make over $880 a month excluding your benefits, then you'll enter the Trial Work Period.
If you make over $910, you'll be entered into the Trial Work Program. Your safest bet is to make below that amount, unless you'd like to enroll in TWP.
Hi...the answers have been helpful but just so i know if im making around 945 total every 2 weeks which is well over the 880 limit for the ssdi how much will i be losing from my benefits
There's a chance you'd lose your benefits entirely. The current Substantial Gainful Allowance (SGA) is $1,220. If you're making $945 every two weeks then you'll be making over the monthly SGA. The SSA may re-evaluate your case and find that since you can make over the SGA, you are no longer eligible for benefits.
I just got back on disability and am receiving $813 every other week. My job was very demanding and I couldn’t do the tasks anymore due to my Addison’s Disease. However, that income isn’t enough for living. I am a licensed caregiver also, that requires just watching over my patient. Am I able to work part time and still collect my disability benefits?
It is possible that your income will affect your disability if the SSA considers it to be "Substantial Gainful Activity". The following link discusses working part time and Disability Benefits:
You are able to work while you have disability, but you will most likely face partial reduction of your benefits. The following link talks a little bit more about how you can work while receiving benefits.
It depends on what type of disability benefit he is on. If he is receiving SSDI then he should be fine. If he is receiving SSI then your income may reduce or stop his benefits.

Hi Debbie,
The number of hours you work does not matter. You need to make less than $880/month or you'll enter the Trial Work Program.
I'm on disability I make 891 a month can't make ends meet how much can I make without it affecting my disability.
In reply to I'm on disability I make by Jim (not verified)
Hi Jim,
You can make under $880 a month without being entered into the Trial Work Period.
If I made less than $880, do I need to report the income?
