My question is--does the SSA care *what* type of work you are doing? Even if you're under the earnings limit? Are they suddenly going to say, "well, you can do x, you no longer fit the guidelines for being disabled by your mental illness"?
I know about the Ticket-to-Work program but I am not quite ready for that yet.
Thank you for any help!

I suggest you contact SSA and ask them this question directly.
