• What maximum income will Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) allow?

There is no limit placed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) on how much a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipient can receive each month through interest, spousal income, or any investments. SSA will, however, limit how much disabled SSDI recipients can earn through work.

• Does income reduce Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) will not reduce Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments based on VA disability benefits, long-term disability benefits, or claim settlements. Workers’ Compensation, however, can offset SSDI benefits.  It should be noted that income gained through working while on SSDI is subject to complex rules—including when the income was earned, the amount of income, and for how long income was earned.  Ultimately, income from work performed may result in the discontinuation of benefits
