Best Practices for Working Part Time & Applying for Social Security

Are you allowed to work part time while your Social Security disability case is pending? If so, at what point will part time work hurt your case?

As I discuss, a key number to keep in mind is the dollar figure for what is called "SGA"
("Substantial Gainful Activity")

In 2023, you are presumed to be performing work at "SGA level" if you are earning $1,470 per month. This equates to only $17,640 per year, but SSA seems to think that a person earning $17,640 per year is, by definition, NOT disabled. :-(

So, if you decide to try to work you need to monitor your gross earnings every month.

If you exceed the SGA limit but cannot sustain a job at that level, your work could be considered "unsuccessful" which will actually HELP your case.

What you want to AVOID is a situation where your earnings EXCEED "SGA" for enough time to take you out of unsuccessful work attempt territory before you discover that you actually cannot sustain work.

This is where your disability attorney can be a huge help. I regularly discuss work attempts with my clients and we try to avoid a situation where a work attempt will cause a claim to fail.
