There is an old saying and the information the ssa provides about people being able to work reminds me of it, "the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away." the ssa says one thing and gets you trapped doing something else. *admin edit* With everything that is going on today with different branch's of government, you have to know there are going to be problems. It's a given

There is a misconception about work incentives. The ultimate goal, the reason there are work incentives, is return to work, return to Substantial Gainful Activity. The goal of work incentives is not to help you supplement SSDI benefits. The work incentives are there to help a disabled person transition back into the work force without fear of benefits being stopped immediately. And since SSI itself is 'Supplemental Security Income', all income affects the SSI. So it is possible that a person who has shown that they can do some work activity is also showing that they are not as disabled as they were when they applied.
SSDI is not a lifetime guarantee. Never was. Retirement Social Security is a lifetime amount.
