If you follow OldSteve's link, you'll see that he is correct regarding the 2008 limit of $940 per month. For 2009, it increases to $980 per month.

You may wish to look into the Ticket to Work program. SSDI beneficiaries will receive a “Ticket” they can use to obtain employment services from a state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agency or another approved provider of their choice. For Ticket to Work information, contact them at 1-866-YOURTICKET (1-866-968-7842). You can also find current information about the Ticket to Work Program at "http://www.ssa.gov/work/Ticket/ticket_info.htm".

My understanding is that they will not initiate a medical review on your claim if you are working with the Ticket to Work program. But, I don't know about a work review, and how that might apply. Some people have recommended not getting too close to the $940 income limit.

I spoke with our county's Voc Rehab counselor last month, and she said her schedule was busy until mid-December, so she plans to call me back to set up an appointment. So, I don't know a whole lot about it yet.
