NEED ADVICE!!!! what should i do

i dont know what to do.... im trying for ssi as some of u know.... but ive just started taking classes for medical billing and coding....... but if i get a job woking i n that feild i wont be able to get ssi... and i see myself completing the class and prob havin a job before ssi gives me an answer.. so my question is ..is there any point in keep trying for ssi .. if i get a job before the deciosin is made that will be time wasted in the ssi case.... can u work and still get ssi?

I'm not sure if you can work and get ssi. I would think not, because if you can work you wouldn't need it.

I think if you are mentally and physically able to work and support yourself then you shouldn't keep trying for ssi.

... when my disable daughter was on SSI we could make up to a certain amount each month and then they would take 1 dollar away from her SSI Check for every 2 dollars our income went over the limit.

Skittles is probably a lot like myself and many others on here....... some months we can and then some months we can't, and we never know when the can months will be.

only reason im taking the medical coding and billing course is because u can get jobs working at home....right now i can only work part time because of the way i feel about being in public.... i called my lawyer and she said that she thinks i should go on with the case that i might still be able to get benefits... so i guess thats what im gonna do ......

Indeed, most of us don't know from day to day. It's so frustrating.

My daughter collects SSI and she has a part time job also. She can only make X amount of dollars per year so you will want to find out what the amounts are. If I were you skittles, I would continue on the SSI trek, because jobs and your health are an unknown but SSI, once you are approved is a given

Good luck hon!

thanks everyone.. i thought u could work part time and still get beneifts but i wasnt sure.. and like Rhapsody said i never know when im gonna be able to work.. i have many of jobs i had to quit cause i couldnt take being in public.....

Hi skittles please keep trying for ssi. Today you may feel like you can work but you never know how you will feel tomorrow! Take care and hope it works out for you!!!
