Can I Work While on Social Security Disability?
Our Experienced Advocates Will Help You Make an Informed Choice About Going Back to Work
The most commonly asked question of our clients who receive benefits is this: Can I work while on Social Security Disability? The basic answer to this is yes, it is possible to return to your job to see if you are capable of working without jeopardizing your benefits.
However, working on disability can be the right or wrong choice, depending on your condition and the type of job you'll be going back to. Our Social Security Disability benefits attorneys can use their more than 150 years of combined legal experience to help you explore your options and identify what is in your best interests. Certain topics we will discuss with you include:
- Your doctor's opinion: If your doctor doesn't think working while you are disabled is a good idea, you should take his or her advice.
- The potential to strengthen your disability claim: If you try working and it doesn't go well, you actually strengthen your case for lifetime disability benefits by showing the Social Security Administration (SSA) that you were unable to work even though you tried.
- The potential to increase your income: If the working-while-disabled experiment is successful, you will probably be making more money than SSD would provide — and you may still be eligible for SSD benefits for up to nine months after you return to work.
