The Impact of Employment on Social Security Disability Benefits – How Working and Benefits Work Together

Did you know a person over the age of 18 could earn $1200/month (gross) and still maintain eligibility for a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) cash payment? Did you know a person eligible for SSI and Medicaid can earn over $30,000/year and still be eligibile for Medicaid? This presentation provides factual information on what Social Security says when a person who receives SSI or SSDI goes to work. Resources are provided which can be used by the person receiving the benefit, family members, employment services providers and employers, as well as information about how people can save without jeopardizing eligibility for other publicly funded benefits.
