Thanks for the replies! LIT LOVE, I appreciate the links. I guess I'll talk to Social Security.

Jo*mar, I've never gotten paid. He's a sole proprietor, and the income is all his. (Which then becomes ours, but that's different. )

Up until now, my name has not been on paperwork. My help has consisted of me occasionally sitting at the computer, possibly in my pajamas, and entering dates of service onto invoices that only have his business name on them. If I were paid for my time, it would not come anywhere close to the amount that one can earn while on SSDI. So I don't think I'll have a problem. But it sounds like I do need to talk to them.
