Thanks for your feedback SirIsaacNippington!
Is this during or after the trial 9 month work period?
Did they do this during the the trial work period (TWP) of 9 months that if you earned over the stated amount that they took social security back? Or was it after the TWP of 9 months?
I read something different and this concerns me which was that though you could earn whatever amount during the 9 month TWP, only if over in a given month, does it count towards one of your 9 months, but you would still receive your SSDI during this time, free and clear. After the nine months (consecutive or not), if you are not SGA, you could continue on SSDI to reinstate/continue it, but if continuing to work and showing SGA,
THEN SSDI stops after the 9 months, no more payments or having to return them if given on accident. So that is not the case?
Can anyone clarify this? I will have to go in to SS to find out more about this.
My base salary alone will be over the stated amount right off the bat and did know my trial work months will being immediately. What I did not know is that I may be responsible for having to pay SSDI back during this time, if what SirIsaac is saying, I need to be prepared not to use my SSDI during this time in that they will be asking for it back during the TWP? How is that helpful? Oh this bites; very stressful.
