Disability Improvements and Going Back to Work
Disability benefits can provide the funds you need to have a full and healthy life. In some cases, long term disability coverage may last a lifetime. In other cases, situations may change and disability coverage may no longer be needed. If you are on disability benefits, there are a number of things you must report to the Social Security Administration.
What you must report to the Social Security Administration:
- If you return to work
- If your disability improves
- If you move
- If you work outside of the United States
- If you get married, divorced or adopt a child
- If your child leaves the care of a husband, wife, widower or widow
- If your child is nearing 18 years of age
- If you are being deported
All of these things may affect your benefits. Knowing this information can be crucial in obtaining and keeping your disability benefits. A disability attorney can help you throughout the process of receiving SS benefits and make sure you continue to get the funds you need.
For example, did you know you could continue to receive disability benefits even if you are able to go back to work? Under some circumstances this is possible for a limited period of time. The Social Security Administration has a policy called the "trial work period." This was created to assist people in the transitional period between being unable to work and rejoining the workforce. Even after getting a job you may be eligible for nine months while you re-enter the workforce. This trial work period can even be extended an additional three months, if necessary, before your benefits stop completely. If during this trial you are unable to continue working, you may be able to go back to receiving your full benefits from SS.
Not knowing you are eligible for benefits when you go back to work can cost you significant payments that can help you during the transitional period. Disability benefits exist to help those who need it most, but it can be a complicated process full of challenges. Having a reputable and experienced disability attorney can ease your mind and simplify the process.
