Can I work and receive Social Security Disability benefits?
If you receive Social Security Disability benefits, you are allowed to work and earn income, as long as your earnings do not exceed a certain amount. However, if you earn over a certain amount, your disability benefits may be reduced or stopped altogether. The amount you can earn without affecting your benefits is adjusted annually, and the rules differ depending on whether you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
