Disability Benefits 
and Employment

If you currently receive disability-related benefits and are considering returning to work, it is important to understand how employment income may affect those benefits.

 

Before you decide to get or change a job, make sure you understand the disability benefits you receive and how much income you can earn while receiving them.

 

This section provides an overview of private disability and Social Security work-incentive programs.

 

Note: Program limits, benefits, and eligibility are subject to change. Get up-to-date information by calling the Social Security Administration and/or your private disability company.
