Impact of Employment on
Social Security Disability Benefits
Many job seekers who utilize One-Stop services also receive Social Security disability benefits, and a common concern among these individuals is how employment will impact their Social Security benefits. While it’s not expected that One-Stop employees become expert in the complexities of Social Security benefits, it is very useful to have a basic understanding of the different Social Security benefit programs in order to help recipients become more willing and confident in seeking employment.
One-Stop staff should be familiar with:
- Differences between the two Social Security disability programs: SSI and SSDI
- How employment and earned income impact SSI and SSDI
- Basic information about Social Security Work Incentives: PASS, IRWE, Blind Work Expense, Student Earned Income Exclusion
- Upcoming changes in the Social Security disability program under the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999
- Resources available for additional assistance
