Work and Social Security Disability Insurance Status (Part A)

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) helps people who are disabled and without paychecks for periods of a year or more. If their conditions improve, can they go back to earning money without having their benefits cancelled? In the past, the possibility of losing benefits was a disincentive to return to work, even if the individual was able.

Today's disability recipients have a good reason to hit the job market. With federal assistance and relaxation of eligibility rules, more SSDI claimants are now able to train, rehabilitate and earn wages. The current legislation is based on the 1999 Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act as well as recent amendments to federal regulations that went into effect July 21, 2008.

Ticket to Work Provides Opportunity and Security

Everyone wins when SSDI beneficiaries make progress in reentering the workforce. The new guidelines provide added incentives for employment networks to help the disabled find and secure work positions. Workers on SSDI also receive special consideration from the Social Security Administration (SSA) in areas such as continuing eligibility and periodic reevaluations.

The theory behind the Ticket to Work program is that medical improvement is gradual. Approved workers receive SSD insurance benefits if they are impaired through physical or mental disease or trauma for a period of more than 12 months. During this time or subsequently, many people get well or recover some level of their functional capacity and think about going back to work.

Can I work? Should I work? Will my disability payments be cut off if I do? Those who engage in the program still need full or partial assistance from the government in order to pay their bills while they ease into self-sufficiency. Don't worry about your monthly payments ending when you begin earning wages.

The federal government entrusts certain employment networks with helping you create a plan for returning to work that is practical and achievable over a specified period of time. If you stick to the plan and maintain progress, you will be able to use employment services and receive your monthly cash and medical benefits. Trouble with this process should first be handled by your employment network.

Next, you should consult with a Social Security Disability attorney in Atlanta, Georgia. It is important that the lawyer have experience with appealing denied disability benefits claims. It also helps if they are familiar with your particular disability.
