the rules are very different for SSI and SSDI (the earned kind),, you need to be sure if you have both, or either , which one, etc. you say SSI, so i will address that,,,, if you work over 20 hrs a week , they will definately send you for a review... but you can work less than that for a long long time,, for every $2 you earn, they take back $1 of SSI,, (that's gross, before taxes )... But, if you are a client of Vocational Rehabilitation, you are covered for 3 yrs EVEN if you recover completely, in case you relapse,, if you want more ,, PM me,, Gus
