The definition of Social Security disability is the inability to perform substantial work activity for twelve months or the expectation that substantial work activity will not be performed for twelve months due to a mental and/or medical impairment. As you can see, the inability to perform substantial work activity is at the heart of Social Security disability claims; consequently, all work activity must be reported to the Social Security Administration. If you do not report your work activity, eventually Social Security will be alerted to the wages that are being reported to your earnings record. What happens if Social Security receives a work activity alert? Social Security will initiate a work CDR, or work continuing disability review in order to ascertain if you are still entitled to Social Security disability benefits. As a result of your work continuing disability review, your disability benefits may be suspended or terminated depending upon how many months or years you have been earning income over the substantial work activity amount. Additionally, Social Security will consider you overpaid for every month that you exceeded the substantial gainful work activity amount and were paid a Social Security disability benefit. How does Social Security handle overpayments? Social Security expects you to repay any overpayment amounts that cannot be waived through the Social Security waiver process.
