What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I currently receive SSI benefits (no SSDI). My illness is in remission at the moment and I would like to try working. The potential job I think would be minimum wage and probably part time so not sure if it would qualify for above the SGA. What I have read about working on disability confuses me because they switch the SSI and SSDI around so much. My questions are:
-If I earn below the SGA amount, can I continue to receive a lesser amount of benefits?
-Does the 'trial work period' only apply to those receiving SSDI?
-What happens if I become sick again and unable to work? Will I have to go through the whole process of application again? If I earn below the SGA will my amount increase again?
-If this happens, can I apply for SSDI because I had a job?
I'm planning on talking to social security myself but I would like to know what I'm getting into before I go to work, considering that my illness is the type that can return at any time. Thank you in advance for your advice.
