I'm off SSI and now on SSD, I just got a phone call offering a job to me, part time. Is this possible to work while on SSD, I know with SSI i need to report all income made, didn't know if this is the same with SSD or not.

SSDI is Social Security; SSI is Supplemental Security Income, a program not related to Social Security, just managed by them (but usually through your state). To get SSDI somebody (not necessarily you) had to have worked and gotten enough work credit to qualify AND you had to qualify through your disability.
Supplemental income is just that; supplements what you are earning, so working at something is sort of assumed; but, since you are disabled, it is common not to be able to work long and hard enough to live on what you make working, hence, the supplement. Social Security Disability works first from the disabled aspect and, if you are disabled, presumably you cannot work long and hard enough. . . Here's the exact rules: http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answ...ility-benefits __________________ "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance." ~Confucius |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
