Some individuals have been successful at obtaining their SSDI, then end up losing it because they attempted to go back to work. Based on this many others are reluctant to try and re-enter the work force in case it doesn’t work out and they end up being disqualified for SSDI. Individuals that have been penalized for re-entering the work force only to find out they were not able to continue should seek out the services of a disability lawyer to assist them with re-applying for this disability.
There are rules in place that govern the SSDI in respect to individuals wanting to test out the employment scene to see if they can cope. These rules indicate that an individual should be able to try working a part time or full time job and still receive their SSDI income
The trial period for doing this is a maximum of nine months but this does not have to be consecutive. It doesn’t matter how much money is earned during that period the disability payments will not be affected. There are other criteria to this area of the SSDI law and they should be fully understood before taking advantage of them. This trial work period has been put in place to encourage those with disabilities whose health status changes to attempt to go back into the work place.
