If you want to double check you can find the info on ssa.gov under oasdi and SSI program rates and limits
I was told by SS attorney that people on disability have a limit of $750 per month of earnings. This has nothing to do with the Trial Work Program.

I believe that amounts that you reference are what is considered "gainful employment" (which is about $1000) and is the amount used BEFORE being approved for disability.

Both amounts to which I have referred apply ONLY to disability, NOT to supplemental program. That has its own set of rules and limits.

Many people confuse the two programs.
