making money while on social security diability?

Every state is different. Chances are, you can work part time just a few hours a week and you will not be allowed to earn very much. You could work under the table, but if you get caught, you'd lose your benefits and even possibly be charged with fraud.

See first link for Arizona below. It has numbers to call for information on the work incentive program for those on social security disability.

The second link is to The Red Book. From the site, " The Red Book serves as a general reference source about the employment-related provisions of Social Security Disability Insurance and the Supplemental Security Income Programs for educators, advocates, rehabilitation professionals, and counselors who serve people with disabilities."

Easy said, easy done. Many people try to compares to each other but it nobody business. What if you live in geographic location like a ghost town? Does that mean that disabled people find work there? Um... no. Not every disabled including able disabled people (people who have slight limited disability but can still do other job) can work because of the certain circumstance. Who can expect work in Michigan when it the highest unemployment rate? Opening a business is great but what about the sales? Is people taking pity of you in order for you to have a successful business or are you being ignored and treated like a homeless? Been there done that. I walk and escort my grandma, people from car yelled out "Get a job bum!". Very offensive even for me as an disabled person. I tried running business and it doesn't work in my town especially when there people that doesn't care or spanish speaking people that doesn't know english in town. So in conclusion, we have no knowledge of where you live to give better judgement in Yahoo Answers.

If you qualify for SSI benefits, it is because you were deemed medically incapable of working. If you are planning on working to make money, you basically are defeating the purpose.

If you work, you will lose your benefits.
