Can I Continue To Work Part Time And Still Get Disability Benefits?

Thank you for answering my questions. Bet helpful and a lot I still don't know.
As I said I am on the Ticket to Work Program my question is how do I stop or get off this program and can I continue to work part time? Or do i need to see my doctor and leave my job? Also, this best way to explain to them when they come at me...cause they will
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi,

You can generally work and still receive Social Security disability benefits as long as you don't earn more than the substantial gainful activity (SGA) limit. The 2019 limit is $1220 per month. Be sure to keep copies of all of your pay slips so that you can provide proof of your monthly earnings to Social Security.

I'm not an expert on the ticket to work program, but as far as I know participation is voluntary. You'll need to direct your questions about the program to your service provider or Social Security (https://choosework.ssa.gov/index.html).

Best, Jerry
