If you’re not trying to get off benefits, my lawyer said to work 15 or less hours per week and to make $1160 or less per every 4.33 weeks. That’s how SSDI calculates it. It’s weekly pay x 4.33.

I went through all the trial work periods. Now, after years of being disabled and working I can earn up to the certain dollar amount they put as a cap on wages. Now it’s $1550 a month.

I can earn that every month but if I go over that amount even once or twice I could lose benefits.
