Understanding Limits When Working Part Time and Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits

  • Published: November 7, 2013

A question a claimant often asks of an Ocala Social Security disability lawyer is how much money can be earned each month while continuing to receive benefits.

An Ocala Social Security Disability Attorney Can Explain How Much a Recipient Can Earn

A person receiving benefits is allowed to make what is known as the “substantial gainful activity” total. For the year 2010, that was $1,000 each month in gross earnings. That is not what the person will take home each month.

Your Ocala Social Security Disability Attorney Will Tell You How to Keep Benefits While Working Part Time

In order to maintain your benefits, an Ocala Social Security disability lawyer will advise you to maintain an income that is lower than what the SSA refers to as the “trial work period services” total. In 2010, that was $720 each month. If you surpass this amount, you will exhaust your three months to try going back to work to see if you’re capable. If you retain them, you can still use them later.
