I'm in Florida and wondering where I can go to find out the rules, do they have publications we can order or PDF's somewhere? Thanks in advance everyone.

Also interested in going back to school while disabled, not sure there are any info docs on that either...

Hi Pam,
IF you go to ssa.gov there is a link to working on beneftis and also about the ticket to work program. I did go to school through assistance with office of vocational rehabilatation and then work part time with their asistance.
If I remember on WWW.SSA.GOV there is a publication called the big red book, red book, blue book?

I did just take a leave and receive UC benefits and am going to start an after care program for kids in the local school district...the latch key kids.

I can earn up to $900 and have no significant physical improvement for quaters. IF any time they determine that happens I have 36 months to work before they cut benefits but I can go back on without reopening a claim. Now If I have any months that earnings go above the income that will be a month against me.

So far after 3 years I did not have any months or improvment. Also, I did not have the three year reveiw as I gave my TTW in. That was an anxiety lifter for me.
I had a post from a SSDI seminar at a NAMI convention Oct 06 in the old BT, if you search my name. I have to figure that out, it had more details I remembered and wrote down then. Things like keepuing the medicare etc.
Good luck
Di
