I apologize if this is an overly redundant question but I'velooked and looked and can't find a definitive answer, I don’t know if it’s myreading comprehension or if it’s that hard to find an answer.
I’ve been on SSDIsince 2010 and while I’d very much enjoy returning to full time work it’s veryintimidating and my gut feeling is that in the long run it’s just not possibleso I’ve been contemplating trying a part time job. My question is how muchmoney can a person earn indefinitely while on SSDI without it affecting their eligibilityand being deducted from their disability payment? From what I’ve read for 2019,social security considers anything above $1220 a month substantial gainful activity.
Does this mean a person is free to earn under $1220 a month indefinitelywhile on disability? Is it deducted from their current disability payment? Italked to my local SS office last year and they kept referring me to theirpathway to work program to the point of being irritating and I really couldn’tget an answer to my question. I would very much enjoy exploring full time workbut it’s daunting, the pain I experienced in the last year before receivingdisability was a horror I don’t wish on anyone and I want to be very carefulabout. I feel I understand the pathway or trial work period but if a person isnot able to go that far can they work on a limited basis without affectingtheir benefit or committing the pathway program?
