How Much Can I Earn and Still Collect SSD?
The financial turmoil of disability can create a great deal of stress for individuals and families. You are unable to hold the occupation you have previously held, and this is having a huge impact on household finances. Many times, people are able to work less demanding jobs. Often these less demanding jobs are for substantially less pay. But, when bills begin to mount, any money coming in is better than no money.
It is a common misconception that working at all may negatively impact your ability to receive Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. This is not true.
It is always better, under SSD, to work than to merely receive benefits. Even if you do not manage to maintain the position, it can constitute evidence of your disability. Once you are receiving SSD, there are numerous programs designed to help you work and keep your benefits. You can earn up to $1,000 per month and still receive full SSD benefits.
At Olinsky Law Group, our New York SSD lawyers understand that for those who are capable of working the question, "Can I try to work after applying for Social Security Disability?" is a huge concern. The answer to that question may make all of the difference to a household's financial stability.
We have been helping people in need since 1986. Our depth of understanding of the SSD system and what you can and cannot do is unparalleled in New York. In 2010 we filed more SSD appeals in the federal courts in New York than any other law firm. Let us put that depth of knowledge to work for you.
