Receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and thinking about returning to work?

You may be able to test your ability to work while continuing to receive benefits.

Our work incentives include a 'trial work period', which allows eligible SSDI beneficiaries to test their ability to work for at least nine months while continuing to receive full disability payments - as long as they report their work and continue to meet our disability rules.

Before you start, understand how work may affect your benefits. Learn more about working while receiving disability benefits: https://ow.ly/cLvP50ZIsvl
