Does the laws prevent you from earning any income if your found Disable by SSD

I heard so many answer to this

Someone give me the best answer possible

Social Security is very strict but it does have programs that let you try working. You really should talk to someone who knows Social Security backwards and forwards.

On a personal side I think it is a mistake for someone who has Social Security and VA 100% to be trying to work as much as they can and keep their benefits. It gives the appearance that maybe the newly rated person was maybe scamming and it could possibly be used later on to deny benefits.

I think the limit of earned income for SSD is around 800 bucks a month. However, if you are 100% from the VA and get SSD I agree with Pete that it is not worth the risk. SSD can get your IRS records and then you have to go through hell if they decide you can work. I know people who have earned tiny money and have been hauled before SSD to explain.

There was a guy here who had P&T and wanted to go work as a contractor in Afghanistan. That is what I call really pushing the envelope.

Thanks for message, I clearly understand what your saying

I just trying to know the law. I have no plans on violating the rules

I am Thankful for the benefits they provide

What it is is that when you declare any earned income I think you will get the hairy eyeball from SSD. There is a back to work program, but that might affect your 100% from the VA. Do you think you will ever be able to earn enough to support yourself? If the answer is "no" I would leave all that alone. There is always some way to beat the game but is it worth the risk?
