Yes, you’re allowed to earn money while on a benefit, but what you earn will affect the amount of your main benefit and whether you’re entitled to supplementary assistance.
Depending on how much you earn your benefit will be reduced by a certain amount (sometimes called “abatement”).
You can earn up to $160 before tax each week before your main benefit reduces. If you’re getting Temporary Additional Support, any increase in your weekly income will affect how much you get.
