Being disabled can be challenging in so many ways. Having a disability that is severe enough to prevent you from working is certainly one of those challenges. It can be hard to adapt and adjust – and that’s understandable. It’s also why you may be eager to return to work or earn an income in some way if you are able.
If you are considering returning to work, the prospect of earning additional income may be exciting – and stressful. You may worry about whether earning an income will reduce or eliminate the disability benefits you receive from the Social Security Administration. That may be a worrisome thought, especially if those benefits are an important source of financial support and stability while you’re unable to work full-time. Let’s take a closer look at the law together.
A Closer Look at Social Security Incentives
The Social Security Administration wants to encourage those who want to return to work to do so, if possible. As a result, it offers a number of incentives to encourage people to attempt to do so. Some of these incentives include:
- The Ticket-to-Work Program: The Ticket-to-Work Program is a free program that the Social Security Administration provides to encourage those who are disabled and between the ages of 18 and 64 to attempt to return to work, if possible. The program provides various resources and assistance with returning to work, including vocational rehabilitation services, on-the-job training, networking and job search services, reasonable job accommodations, and more. While an individual is participating in the program, they can continue receiving the full amount of their disability benefit payments.
