The Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/strong> claims that it depends. For example, if you are on SSDI<\/strong> and you are enjoying the trial work period<\/strong>, believe it or not, there are no limits on<\/strong> your work earnings. However, things are completely different during the 36-month extended period of eligibility.<\/p>\n

In general, if you are on SSDI<\/strong> and you are taking advantage of the extended period<\/strong>, your earnings must be at the SGA<\/strong> level. SGA stands for Substantial Gainful Activity.<\/p>\n

What is the SGA level for SSDI in 2024 and 2025?<\/h2>\n

Through December 31, 2024, the Substantial Gainful Activity<\/strong> limit is $1,550<\/strong> per month. In one year, that amounts to $18,600. If you exceed that limit per month, your Social Security Disability Insurance payments will stop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This SGA limit<\/strong> is much higher if you are a blind<\/strong> person. For example, it is $2,590 in 2024. After the latest COLA Fact Sheet was unveiled, SSDI recipients can learn about their SGA limit for 2025.<\/p>\n

The upcoming SGA limits for SSDI<\/strong> recipients will be $1,620<\/strong> in 2025<\/strong>. Blind people will also have a higher limit, up to $2,700 per month in 2025. To know if you complete a Trial Work Month, SSA has set the new limit for 2025 at $1,160, up from $1,110 per month in 2024.<\/p>\n

What happens if I lose my job during the trial work period for SSDI?<\/h2>\n

Do not worry because Social Security<\/strong> claims that if you lose your job during the trial work periods, your SSDI benefits<\/strong> will not be affected at all. It is important to call SSA if you lose your job while you are enjoying the 36-month extended period of eligibility.<\/p>\n

Once you call SSA, they will reinstate your SSDI benefit<\/strong> as long as you still have a qualifying disability. It is true that work income can cause your Supplemental Security Income benefits to stop. Nevertheless, your Medicare coverage will go on until you reach a specific level. It depends on the State where you live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
