Worried about losing your disability benefits if you start working part-time? It's a common concern! The good news is that working doesn't automatically disqualify you from receiving disability.
The rules vary depending on which type of disability benefits you receive (e.g., SSDI or SSI). SSDI, for example, has a trial work period that allows you to test your ability to work without affecting your benefits right away. SSI, on the other hand, has stricter income limits, but also offers work incentives to help you transition back to employment.
Understanding the specific regulations for your situation is crucial. It’s highly recommended to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) directly or consult with a disability benefits specialist to get personalized advice. They can help you understand how your earnings will impact your benefits and help you plan a successful return to work. Don't let fear hold you back from exploring your employment options!
