Can you work part time if you are on social security disability?

Answer 1

You may - HOWEVER - you are limited to making only a certain amount of income if you wish to keep receiving SSI. To be eligible for either ssd or ssi disability, a claimant must have a condition that is severe and prevents them from working at any one of their past jobs, or working any other type of job, while earning at least a certain amount each month. Substantial Gainful Activity is simply the dollar amount that a disability beneficary (SSI or social security) may earn each month while simultaneously maintaining eligibility for benefits. The reasoning behind this seemingly arbitrary amount is this: it is the view of the social security administration that an individual who is able to earn at least this amount per month is able to engage in competitive employment in the national economy.

Currently, the SGA amount for 2008 is $940.00.

Beneficiaries who wish to maintain their eligibility for ongoing disability benefits, must be careful not to exceed the SGA amount, i.e. gross monthly earnings of $940.00. See: http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/the-rules.html

Answer 2

Yes, most states allow unemployment claims if you are working part time. The only thing you need to find out is how many hours can be worked a week without making your claim invalid. Also be aware that your unemployment amount will be based on how much you make so the more you make, the less you get.

Another answer:Most states allow you to collect unemployment if working part time, under certain circumstances. Some may have you collect on a former employer if you are still in the benefit year and you had claimed unemployment before your present job. Much depends on the state you work in and their criteria. Contact your state unemployment office for clarification.

Yes you can collect unemployment if you work part time. Myself and my neighbor are both working part time and we collect it. As long as you don't make too much they will pay you the balance of your weekly amount.

Answer 3
