ABLE Accounts | ABLEnow A savings account for people living with a disability.
If you do not qualify for an ABLE account, could the extra money (the amount that is too much) be put in an IRA or another type of an account as Pre-tax dollars and not have an effect upon your SSDI limits?
If not an IRA account, maybe as pre-tax dollars for a health savings account?
Have you asked an accountant?
Just thinking out loud.... trying to think of a way for you to have the money and be fine with the SSDI guidelines.   |
Thanks for sharing about this, Wild Coyote! I had never heard about this. I bookmarked the website.
HALLIEBETH, if you can't take advantage of anything like Wild Coyote suggested, it still seems like a good thing that the job was able to "make things work". It is a bummer that one must sometimes take a relatively lower paying job than normal to get back to the workforce.
