I need a part time job that works with SSD, but I am having a hard time finding one again. When I admit to being on SSD I never get the job even when the interview went well. Should I just not say anything? It tends to come up when I am asked certain questions about hours it tends to come up. I don't want some lowly job, I want something that makes me feel productive.

I think it may just take a while until you find something that works with your situation. I went through the same issue. I ended up consulting, and I just took a monthly fee for my work that was under the amount allowable.

You could try freelancing, so you can control your income and hours. You could also try a temp agency. If I recall you did like legal secretary work? That may be hard to find as part-time. You may have to look for admin assistant or receptionist work to do part time.

also, some of the larger businesses are becoming more open to the idea of 'job sharing', if you knew someone as qualified as you, and just say that you have a small annuity, but you need to supplement your income.
