Hi there,
if you are receiving benefits based on your work record, there are no financial limits for eligibility, so you may be able to keep over $2000 in your account.

Hi,

Your disability amount should not be affected by any additional incomes because it is based off of your own earning history.

What if you never worked before but plan on working as a electrician because I’m certified in that field how would that work. I’m only 35

Hi Nick,

If you are on SSI, having an income generally leads to a partial/complete reduction of your benefits. The SSA will decrease benefits by $1 for every $2 made.

Hi Marie,

Disability benefits are not affected by income, therefore this should not change your benefits. If you would like to give a call to your local SSA office, they will be able to give you a more specific answer based on the details of your case.
