You are legally required to report all earned income on your IRS tax forms, which automatically makes the information available to the Social Security Administration.

The SSA asks that you notify them of any work attempt, regardless of income earned. If you have been disabled less than 24 months, your work activity may trigger a continuing disability review.

Having said that, people on SSD are permitted to earn an average of $1,000 per month or less ($1,640 per month if legally blind) in 2010 without being considered engaged in "substantial gainful activity" (SGA).

Different rules apply for people on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or a combination of SSD and SSI. If in doubt, check with your local Social Security office.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?

Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.

Once you reach retirement age, your Social Security Disability benefits convert to regular retirement benefits, payable at the same rate. You cannot collect an additional amount due to disability. It is possible that you could qualify for the SSI supplemental security income, which is based on disability and income, in addition to your month Social Security benefit, but this is a different program and is not administered by the SSA. The amount of SSI paid is adjusted monthly based on what the person was able to earn in that month.

How much money can you earn while receiving Disability insurance?

The amount of income you could receive in addition to Social Security benefits will depend on the type of benefit your Disability insurance coverage provides. Some benefits will offset with all Social Security benefits you qualify for, which essentially means the additional income you receive will be equal to the difference of your monthly benefit and your Social Security benefits.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $4,000 of additional income and a total of $5,000.There is also a benefit called "base" benefit, which does not offset with Social Security benefits. In this scenario the additional income you will receive is equal to your entire Disability insurance benefit.$5,000 Disability insurance benefit (not off-settable)$1,000 Social Security benefitYou will receive a net $5,000 of additional income and a total of $6,000.


Can you apply for social security disability if getting social security?

When people refer to "Social Security," they general mean retirement benefits. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance, which is paid from the same fund, but available only to disabled people who are below full retirement age.If you're asking whether you can receive both Social Security retirement and Social Security disability benefits, the answer is no. If you meet SSA guidelines for disability, you receive SSDI until you become ineligible or reach retirement age, whichever occurs first. If you remain on SSDI until retirement, your Social Security benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement. You can't receive both at the same time.If you're asking whether you can receive private disability insurance payments after you begin receiving Social Security disability or retirement benefits, that depends on the policy. Consult with your insurance agent or employer for more information.


Are social security benefits figured monthly or yearly?

yes


Can you receive Social Security disability benefits and Social Security retirement benefits at the same time?

No. The Social Security Administration will only pay one benefit -- either retirement or disability, but not both. If you qualify for disability before you reach full retirement age, your monthly benefit will automatically convert to retirement at the same monthly rate once you reach full retirement age.If you are already receiving early retirement, you do not qualify for disability because you've voluntarily elected not to work in return for a reduced monthly benefit.If you think your situation may present an exception, you can contact an SSA representative at 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST, to discuss your options.


Can you draw Social Security Disability and Social Security?

No. Someone cannot receive both Social Security retirement and disability benefits at the same time. Social Security Disability Insurance provides monthly benefits to individuals who are under full retirement age (age 65 and/ or older) and who can no longer work because of a severe disability. The impairment must be expected to last for more than 12 months.
