Does Short Term Disability Count As Earned Income Against The Earnings Limit?
Does Medical Short Term Disability claim from my employer count as earned income against my Social Security Retirement limit?
Hi. Not if it's paid by a private or employer disability insurance plan. However, if it's sick pay paid by your employer then it would be considered part of your salary and would count for purposes of the Social Security earnings test.
Best, Jerry
