SSA offers SSDI beneficiaries the chance to utilize a trial work period to test their ability to return to work. This provides you with the opportunity to earn more than the Substantial Gainful Activity level, while continuing to receive monthly benefits. Your cash benefits will end after nine months of earnings that exceed trial work period levels.
SSI beneficiaries are unable to utilize the trial work period, and their monthly benefits are typically reduced as a result of earnings. In either instance, our experienced career counselors will help you understand any impact on your benefits, so you are prepared and fully understand your future income.
