can you work part time on social security disability

[DiLucia]

Part-time employment is allowed for SSDI or SSI recipients in the U.S., provided earnings stay below Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) thresholds, which vary by program. All income must be reported to the Social Security Administration (SSA), and initiatives like “Ticket to Work” assist beneficiaries in working without losing benefits.

Part-time work is allowed on U.S. disability (SSDI/SSI), subject to 2025 rules. The SGA limit is $1,620/month for non-blind and $2,700/month for blind recipients. SSI payments may decrease with earned income, though work incentives exist. SSDI beneficiaries can use the Trial Work Period (TWP) for 9 months, earning any amount without losing benefits.

Part-time work is allowed on U.S. disability, but proper steps are crucial to avoid issues. Always notify the SSA when you start or stop working, maintain detailed earnings and hour records, and seek guidance from a benefits counselor or lawyer to fully understand the impact on your SSDI or SSI benefits.
