Working While Applying For Social Security Disability Benefits

I’m often asked about applying for disability benefits and working?
As the rules go social Security (SSA) allows you to apply for disability if your monthly earnings are less than $940.00 / month.

However in my opinion working and applying is the proverbial dammed if ya do and damned if ya don’t scenario. Because if your working even little it gives SSA an argument that you could do some job full time.

Even disability representatives have a difficult time winning these cases! To maximize your chances of winning I suggest that its best to apply when you are not working.
