Schizophrenic on SSDI wants to earn some extra cash.

[ThePoolPlayer]

Hey I am a paranoid schizophrenic who would like to spend a half hour a month buying and selling some products online.

I grew up in government institutions became a adult and worked for awhile until I became very ill again (Well I worked while being ill and became more ill) I then decided to get back on ssdi. My disorder will not ever get better but it could get worse. I take medication for it daily.

Will I lose my benefits if I earn some extra cash. I live in CA. How much can I earn? Do I need to worry about losing my benefits or triggering a CDR? Do I need to report my earnings?

Thank you very much for answering my questions.

Yes.

Do I need to report my earnings?

Check out the SSA website for more information about how earnings affect benefits:
