If you work while you are collecting disability benefits, special rules apply: Trial work period - you can work up to 9 months in any five year period and continue to collect disability benefits. There is no cap on your earnings during the 9 month trial work period. If you earn more than $640 in a month in 2007, that month counts as a trial work period month. In 2006, the trial work period trigger was $620. After you have used up your nine months you can earn up to the following without jeopardizing your benefits: 2007 - $900 per month

2006 - $860 per month If you earn more than the above limits for a particular month, you will be asked to repay Social Security for any disability benefits received during that month. SSA will literally review your earnings month by month - if you exceed the limit for a particular month, you will have to pay it back. In addition, if your earnings record shows a pattern of work, SSA will likely review your case to determine whether benefits should be stopped. Note that special rules apply for blind disability claimants.

If you are speaking about a disability determined by the Social Security Administration of the United States of America's government, then it may vary. Basically, when one earns more than that amount which is determined to be "substantial" the Agency begins to believe that one is not disabled. As a general rule, ' substantial' earnings, currently is about $975. Because this amount can change in the judgment of the Social Security Administration, one much use their exact determination. One might contact a local office, or alternatively go to the webpage for the Social Secuirty Administration, look under 'earnings while disabled". IF you have a private disability program, your contract makes that determination. SIDE POINT: The Social Security Admnistration has one of the best websites in the USA government.

Social security is a concept enshrined in Article 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality. In simple term, this means that the signatories agree that society in which a person lives should help them to develop and to make the most of all the advantages (culture, work, social welfare) which are offered to them in the country(Wikipidia)

Social security DOES not discriminate against anyone on the basis of Income.

you can have as much money as you want. But if you want to still get your monthly check you must make only 3000 a month that's including your SSdi check as well. If you make more than 3000 you will not qualify for your next month's check

In 2010, earnings averaging more than $1,000 per month for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month if you are legally blind, will be considered "substantial gainful activity" (SGA).

If you have been on disability for less than 24 months, any earned income may trigger a continuing disability review.

Also, earnings above $720 per month are counted against the allowance for your nine-month trial work period if you ever return to full-time work. The trial work period (TWP) allows benefits to continue without interruption while you attempt to reenter the workplace or become self-employed (like a safety net).

How does my wife's income affect my social security disability?

No, If you are on ssdi, it is a paid into program and there is no money cap. If you are on SSI then yes. To receive money in this program you must be both disabled and poor. Married persons income are looked at as one income. To receive SSI there must be 2,000 dollars or less in your bank account. Again SSDI will not be affected.

SSI is a federal program. Your SSDI income is too high for SSI regardless of where you live. The same is likely true for Medicaid, regardless of state.


How much do you need to earn to get earn income?

The earned income credit is really too complicated to explain in detail here. You should go to the IRS website, download the instructions, and go through the worksheets. Basically, if you graphed it, it would look like a small hill: the unearned income credit increases based on how much income you earn up to a certain point, after which it starts decreasing again.
