Hi Jeffrey,
You can apply for disability online at the SSA's website or at your local SSA office. It may be a good idea to speak with a disability advocate or attorney as well, as many applications are denied on the first application and you would need to appeal. If you fill out the form on the left of the screen, we can have one reach out to you.
I have been in ssdi since 2001. I have an inoperable brain tumor and lupus. I tried to go back to wk...ticket to wk and used my time. My tumor became larger and had to have radiation treatment and stopped working. I have been in remission for 4 years and would like to work a pt job. Can I do that if I am under$1000.00 monthly and keep my benefits?

Hi Robin!
You may be able to! I would contact your SSA representative and check what, if any, limitations that you would have on work.
I have a terminal diagnosis but have been blessed to live past my (dr's) expiration date. I have tried to work in the past and used the ticket to work program. But I got sicker after that experience and come out of remission. I feel like can try a part-time job again. I think with my brain being useful, I don't over think the future. Can I try to work again, part time like at a local store....without losing all of my benefits?

Hi Anna,
You may be able to! I would contact the SSA to confirm exactly what limitations you would have on work, but I have a feeling that you could work part-time without losing benefits. Their number is 1-800-772-1213.
I earn 1200.00 per month in SSDI CAN I WORK PART TIME WITHOUT LODING MY BENEFITS?
In reply to I earn 1200.00 per month in by Christopher Fusto (not verified)
Hi Christopher,
SSDI benefits are based off of work history, rather than income, so yes, you may work part time as long as it is under the $1,130 substantial gainful activity limit.
I have been on full disability since 2011. I have very bad knees, arthritis plus other things I can walk with the help of knee brace's . There is a job that requires drving short distance, along with sitting for periods of time. Would I jeopardize my Disability by taking this job. Only around 16 hours per week. Thank you

Hi Mike,
You may be able to, but I would contact the SSA if you're unsure. Generally if you're earning less than $1,130 a month, you may not have any trouble.
my husband had neck surgery and can only work 25 hours per week. he was approved for disability which is 849.00 per month can he still work the 25 hours without losing disability
In reply to my husband had neck surgery by darlene (not verified)
Hi Darlene,
Potentially, but he cannot be earning more than around $10 per hour. This is because he cannot earn more than $1,130 per month to remain on SSDI benefits.

Hi Joy,
He may qualify for SSDI if he was a payrolled employee, or SSI if he meets the income and resource limits, and with those he would be able to get either Medicare or Medicaid benefits, which may be able to help him with his mental state.
I have been on ssdi since 2001. I have PTSD and severe anxiety. I am permanently partial disabled. I have not worked since 2001 and receive $2,000 a month. Can I work part time without losing my benefits?
In reply to I have been on ssdi since by Carol (not verified)
Hi Carol,
You can, but I would not recommend earning more than 800 per month, otherwise you will trigger a Trial Work Period.
Hello,Iam working now but can I apply for ssdi even if iam working?Because how will I support myself if iam not work?
In reply to Hello,Iam working now but can by steven (not verified)
Hi Steven,
It's actually a misconception that you may not work while applying for disability. However, if you are earning more than $1,130 a month, you may not be considered eligible for benefits.
I was wondering how many hours we can work and still get SSI
In reply to I was wondering how many by Alyssa (not verified)
Hi Alyssa,
there is no limit to the amount of hours you can work, but you may not be eligible for benefits if the SSA determines that your countable income and resources are over $733 a month for income and $2000 in savings.
How many hours a month can I work and stillr receive disability?
