I cannot afford to stop working. Can I apply for Social Security Disability benefits?
Social Security has special rules regarding work activity. In general, if you are working part time and making less than $980 per month (before deductions), you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits if you cannot work full time due to a disability. The amount you can earn may be higher if you have out-of-pocket medical expenses that allow you to continue working. Social Security will evaluate your work activity and medical expenses when you file your claim.
