Social Security Disability And Working Part Time

    In the terminology of Social Security, work equals substantial gainful activity, defined in 2014 as full or part-time activity that generates at least $1,070 gross income in a month. That number will adjust each year with the COLA. Someone making that much money is considered to be working, and an application for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits is likely to be denied under these circumstances.

    If you are working part time or want to work part time, earning less than $1,070 per month — or if you wish to go to school — despite a disabling condition, you may still qualify for SSD benefits. Keep in mind that nuances may matter a great deal in such cases. For example, if you are enrolled in a university program or working part time as a Tupperware sales consultant, you may be taking on a reduced load of classes or Tupperware parties because of your disabling medical condition(s).

    Under these circumstances, you may still qualify for SSD. But if you are handling an intense, rigorous load of classes or work activities, it may be difficult to verify that you have a permanent disability that keeps you from working. Testimony from your doctor(s) will be very important as you prepare to present evidence that you are unable to interact as fully with classmates and teachers (or customers) as you would have been before you were disabled.

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    It meant a lot to me every time I called and whoever I talked to knew all about my case. It was wonderful that I didn’t get pushed from one person to another. Your staff was always happy; they acted like they personally know me. But most of all I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST YOU HAD MY CASE DONE. You and your staff really put a smile on my face. Thank you for doing what I couldn’t get done. Everyone will know Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associate

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
