How to work and still receive Social Security Benefits

Did you know that many disabled persons can work , and still receive Social Security benefits?

Well, it's true that , with the help of many work incentives persons receiving Social Security Entitlements are able to work, and still keep some , or all , of their monthly benefits.

What are Work Incentives?

Work Incentives are simply monthly expenses paid for by a disabled individual , that enables them to work. The Social Security Administration(SSA) will then deduct that work related expense from the gross earnings of the person working. The calculation used is slightly different for SSI , and SSDI. The work incentives for SSI, and SSDI are somewhat different, also persons who are legally blind have greater deductions than, disabled persons who are not. Here is  a list of deductible work related work expenes:
