If you are considering a certain job, make sure to keep in mind the SGA monthly earnings limit. With this you need to be sure to keep your income under/below the limit in order to be eligible for Social Security Disability. For this year, 2019, the SGA limit is $1220/month. The SGA limit adjust every year so be sure to keep updated with the newly adjusted income limits. Some complications can happen if you are not monitoring your monthly income.
That said, if you are exceeding the monthly income and still receiving benefits, it will be a while before this is noticed and will result in you having to pay back these over-payments for the months you were receiving benefits when you should not have. Another issue is that for those with new jobs, this can be a sign of your medical disability improving which will cause a medical disability review. This can be alarming as it can cause your payments to be revoked if your disability looks to be improved.
Returning to work can be difficult and anxious, but always make sure to follow the SGA guidelines, work in conditions that will help you maintain your disability benefits and discuss with the SSA about your new job.
