Can I work and still receive Social Security Disability benefits?
Working and receiving benefits is possible under very limited circumstances. Generally, if your wages are not “gainful,” less than $800.00 gross wages per month, or your work is not “substantial,” then you can work and also get Social Security Disability benefits. Also, once you are found disabled you can get a trial work period of up to 9 months total (not necessarily consecutive), during which you can try work while still getting Social Security Disability benefits.
