You really need to understand the concept of SGA (Significant Gainful Activity which is $1090 per month.)

"To be eligible for disability benefits, a person must be unable to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA)."

^^^^So, if I am able to work, in order to still be egible for SSDI, the amount I make per month needs to be less than $1090 - correct?
WORD of CAUTION:

If you are working, earning even a small amount of money, when one appears in front of an ALJ at a hearing, expect to be challenged on it. They will inquire as to if you are holding your wages down intentionally to be able to stay under the allowed limit.

Some people that are unable to work in the outside work force attempt to earn "something" to help provide any source of income and work from home. That allows them to set their own hours, pace, rest periods, etc. and the flexibility to function when they are capable. It might involve stuffing envelopes, watching the neighbors kids for an hour, making phone calls, etc. Just about anything to earn a dime when they can.

ANY amount of income "earned", no matte how small, will be questioned by an ALJ.

If you make $100 on average a month, an ALJ will inquire as to why it is not more. Would you be capable of earning more?

Just because one is earning less than the SGA amount, does not mean it will not be challenged.
