Part 4—Going Back To Work
Can I Receive Benefits While I Work?
If you’re like most people, you would rather work than try to live on disability benefits. There are a number of special rules that provide cash benefits and Medicare while you attempt to work. Social Security calls these rules "work incentives," or "employment support" programs. You should be familiar with these special rules so you can use them to your advantage.
For more information about Social Security work incentives, ask The SSA for a copy of the booklet, Working While Disabled ... How We Can Help (Publication No. 05-10095).
The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 substantially expands opportunities for people with disabilities who want to work. For information on this new law, call the Social Security Administration 1-800-772-1213 and ask for the factsheet, Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (Publication No. 05-10060). The factsheet also is available on The Social Security Administration website at www.socialsecurity.gov/work.
