Individual’s who are receiving Social Security disability are allowed to work and there are special provisions to allow a disabled individual an opportunity to return to work. However, a person who is filing for disability should keep in mind that, even if they are not earning in excess of the social security administration's earnings limit (called SGA), the mere fact that work is being engaged in may influence the attitude an adjudicator (a disability examiner or a disability judge) develops about their claim as it is being considered. And it is for this reason that many disability representatives will advise their clients not to work while their case is pending. You may contact your local Social Security office for more information about Social Security rules and regulations which affect disability recipients who want to engage in work activities. However, you should remember that work activity has the potential to suspend or even terminate your disability benefits.
