I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer 18 months ago. I was approved for Social Security Disability and I have Medicare Insurance. I am currently in remission so I would like to take a part time job. Will that affect my SSDI?
SSDI, unike SSI, does not deduct for earned income. However, there is a 9 month trial back to work period. If you remain able to work after 9 months, you will be viewed as no longer disabled and lose SSDI. If you again become disabled, you can again receive SSDI.
