The goal of Social Security Disability is to provide financial support when you can’t work. So if you’re working, that can disqualify you from getting benefits.
But you might feel like you have to work, even a little bit, to put food on the table.
It is possible to get benefits and work as long as the amount you work and earn stays below a certain level set by Social Security.
Also, when you’ve already been receiving benefits, Social Security has a program that allows you to return to work on a trial basis and keep your benefits while you explore whether you’re able to return to working permanently.
