Has Social Security Announced The 'Substantial Earnings' Amount For 2018
Hi,
Yes, assuming that you're referring to the substantial gainful activity (SGA) guideline for disability benefits. For non-blind individuals the 2018 amount is $1180, and for blind individuals next year's guideline is $1970 (https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html).
Best, Jerry
