Home :: FAQ :: Basic Questions Social Security Disability

Will I lose my Social Security disability benefits if I return to work?

Not necessarily.  You can continue to receive Social Security benefits for at least nine months after you return to work.  If you can’t continue to work beyond this nine-month period, your Social Security benefits will continue.

In addition, your Medicare will continue for at least 8 ½ years after you return to work.  These work incentives allow you to test your ability to work without fear of losing your benefits.

For more information regarding work incentives, see the “Red Book on Work Incentives” published by the SSA - www.ssa.gov/work/ResoucesToolkit/redbook_page.html.* See: *How Work Affects Your Benefits (publication No. 05-10069)
