If I get a job it will be full-time and I will be getting off my SSDI.
Yes, I agree with this. Each person should speak with SSA individually because what was mentioned here is for SSDI. There are different forms of social security, so it's very dependent upon what type of social security the person has. I have been through a trial period and done all this, so I know what it is from experience, but the rules change each year.

Also, if you don't file for your trial work period, they could just kick you off. You have to be very careful.

And the 9 trial work periods means 9 months. They can be nonconsecutive, but you only get 9.

So again, I'd get it in writing, signed, and dated from your SSA office, which is not hard to do.
