I thought I read that it didn't matter how much you made in the trial work period, that you still got to keep your check(ssdi) and what ever you made working.
But I asked SS one time, and she said only up to a certain amount you could earn, but then I quoted the article I had read, and she said I was right.
I am looking for it(The article)
here is where it says it here.
http://www.disabilitysecrets.com/page1-13.html

SSDI recipients are entitled to test their ability to work and continue to receive full benefits regardless of whether they make more than the SGA amount, for a nine-month trial work period. For 2014, the SSA considers any month where a person has a monthly income of more than $770 a trial work month. If you are self-employed, any month where you work more than 80 hours (or earn more than $770) is a trial work month.

Is this www.disabilitysecrets.com usually accurate.

But then I think you said one time, If I was working the trial work period,
It would most likely trigger a Social Security Review, and they would send the long form.

And do you know if it is true that you can earn over the SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) and still get to keep the SSDI and what ever I earn?

How could I prove that to SS if they try to tell me otherwise?
