You can hold a part-time job while receiving SSDI or SSI, as long as your earnings stay below set income limits, such as the 2025 SGA threshold of $1,620 per month for most people. All income must be reported to the SSA. Programs like the Trial Work Period allow limited testing of work, but regularly exceeding or nearing SGA can result in benefit termination, making careful tracking essential.

You can go back to work and still receive full Disability benefits for at least nine months under what’s known as the Trial Work Period. In 2025, any month where your pre-tax earnings exceed $1,160 counts toward this trial. These months do not have to be consecutive, only completed within a rolling five-year window, and there is no cap on how much you can earn during those nine months.

Are you referring to your disability payments? If you are in the United States and receive Social Security disability benefits, it’s important to consult the Social Security Administration. The same applies if you receive other types of disability benefits, such as state programs. In all cases, income limits may apply, so checking the rules is essential to avoid affecting your benefits.
