Disability Benefits 
and Work

Before you make changes related to working and income, make sure you understand the disability benefits you receive and how employment and additional income could impact them. This section provides an overview of Social Security and private disability work incentive policies.

A cautionary note: program limits, benefits, and eligibility are subject to change. You can get up-to-date information from the Social Security Administration or your private-disability carrier, additional resources described in these pages.
