Where Can I Find The Rules Explaining How Part Time Income Affects Disability Benefits?

hi, I am on permanent disability in New Jersey. I need to aquire some sort of part time employment to supplement my disability check. Where would I find the rules and laws explaining how part time income works?



Hi,

The following Social Security pamphlet: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf is a good place to start. If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits (SSDI), you can normally earn up to $1170 per month (gross) without losing benefits.

Best, Jerry
