Yes, you can receive SSDI benefits and work for a specific time period. Following that time period, you can also receive SSDI benefits for any month where your earnings fall too low.

Through the Ticket to Work program, you can continue to receive both SSDI and earnings from work for about one year, with additional options after this first year.

You can earn much more money from working than you would ever get from SSDI benefits, plus you can work for a certain time and receive both your earnings and SSDI.

Social Security oversees how much you can earn and continue to receive SSDI benefits. During the first year you attempt to work, you may earn as much as you are capable. We can help you understand your options over time, especially if you’re able to work for longer than a year.

You can work with an Employment Network like Allsup Employment Services to help you report your earnings. Tracking earnings can be a confusing process, especially to make sure that your records are current with Social Security. Accurate earnings reporting is needed so your SSDI benefits continue as long as they’re available for you, and to stop benefits at the correct time, when applicable. 

It’s important to keep accurate records to make sure you receive the monetary monthly benefits to which you’re entitled.

Ticket to Work is a program offered through the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides you with many advantages when you go back to work, including continuing to receive SSDI income and Medicare coverage while working.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) oversees Ticket to Work and relies on Employment Networks like Allsup Employment Services to provide free services to individuals like you as you return to work.

No, but many people make mistakes when they go back to work without the help of an Employment Network. You can miss out on important financial benefits, incentives that support your work attempt, and long-term protection for your SSDI benefits. Allsup Employment Services can help you navigate the program and ensure you get the full incentives you’re entitled to receive.

An Employment Network (EN) is an organization that enters into an agreement with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide services to individuals like you. Allsup Employment Services is an SSA-approved EN and is listed in their national directory.

No, it doesn’t cost you anything to use an Employment Network’s services. The Social Security Administration covers Employment Network costs, because they have contracts with Employment Networks to help manage the Ticket to Work program.

Allsup Employment Services can help you no matter where you live. We offer assistance in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

As a Social Security Administration-approved Employment Network, Allsup Employment Services (AES) can help you recruit and hire individuals with disabilities who are medically able and eager to return to work. Once individuals are approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits with Allsup’s help, they are introduced to our return to work services and Social Security’s Ticket to Work program. Many of our AES clients also are referred to us by the SSA. Either way, AES can work with employers to source and identify future workers with disabilities.

We understand there’s a misconception about part-time workers with disabilities losing their benefits, including Medicare, if they increase their hours at the job. That is not true.

Our AES experts stand ready to help employers understand the benefits of the Ticket to Work program so more workers with disabilities will consider working full time without fear of losing those important benefits.
