Hi Terra,
You can work any amount of hours, but you may not be considered disabled if you earn enough for it to be counted as substantial gainful activity ( this is $1,130 a month)
can I work part-time while on ssdi. I've received 1482 a month
In reply to can I work part-time while on by Anonymous (not verified)
You may be eligible to work part time but keep in mind you cannot earn more than $1,130 per month to remain on SSDI benefits. I would call the SSA directly at 1-800-772-1213 for more information. Hope this helps!
I am on SSDI & have been since about 2007 I think. I had back surgery where they fused my spine 5 discs, straightened scoliosis & fixed some fractures in my back. I was in surgery for 10 hours it was a pretty long & involved surgery which really hasn't helped. So now we are trying a spinal implant. My question is I can't stand,sit,or walk far but would like to try to work a couple days a week like 4 hours. I'm wondering how that would affect my SSDI long term & short term.

Hi Mary Joan,
working would only affect your SSDI if you were earning over $1,030 a month, so you may not have anything happen to your SSDI, short or long term.
How much can I make a month while on ssdi?

Hi Brandon,
You may be able to make up to $1,030 a month while on SSDI, however you would need to make sure that the work you are doing doesn't conflict with the disability determinations that the SSA had made.

Is the $810 or $ 1130 figure before or after taxes?

HI Eric,
I'm pretty sure that that is before taxes rather than after.
Why file a fraud report with oig if nothing is going to be done about it. It's really sad how people can get over on this system and nobody cares but it causes parents like me who are doing the right thing, trying to provide for their family, it causes some real frustration. Why report fraud if nothing gets done about it?????????

Hi there,
The SSA does investigate claims of fraud every day! If you report, the SSA may follow up with it, it really depends on what information that they get.
In reply to Hi there, by Bryan
Known fraud was reported and is still being committed. If they wanted to find information, they would. Ssd doesn't care, this whole world system is sad. The people doing right suffer and the ones doing wrong get over; how backwards is that.

Real sad. Report was filed. Nothing has been done. This person works construction 8-10 hours per day. Moved around June, bought another motorcycle some weeks ago, just bought a jaguar and still gets all his ssd benefits, while I supply our children's coverage, because the system accepts him saying he's disabled. Amazing!!!!!!!!! This system siva

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear that! Don't worry, the SSA takes fraud seriously and will investigate allegations of benefits abuse.
In reply to Hi there, by Bryan
Another question - since no one has investigated his ability to work, after he's purchase a house, his 3rd motorcycle and just recently bought a jaguar, (I'm sure he's still working) but, if he decides to "oversee" his crew and makes way over the ssd cash limit, is he supposed to still be eligible to receive benefits, according to ssd's guidelines? (I'm already blow away by ALL that he's gotten away with by I'd still like to know. And is I sound angry, I am because, as a parent, everything should not fall on me but this system........SAD

Hi there,
It's possible to have unearned income (like owning a business, and not working at it, stocks, bonds, ect) while on SSDI, and there is no limit to unearned income. SSDI benefits are not income based at all. However, SSI benefits are based on income and financial resources.
In reply to Hi there, by Bryan
Thanks for that. I know he's working the jobs and he may be getting paid under the table or have everything in a business name. It doesn't matter anyway, nobody's checking into anything anyway while he milks this system by doing whatever and however he does.
