Should You Work?

The Law Firm of Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt

Birmingham Social Security Disability Insurance Lawyers

Many people mistakenly believe that you cannot work and receive Social Security Disability benefits at the same time. The law does allow people who are eligible to receive Social Security Disability benefits to work a few hours each week to supplement their disability income. The law office of Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt works closely with clients in order to educate and inform them of the options available to them under the law. Our Social Security Disability insurance attorneys review your proposed work schedule and explain the maximum income you can earn and still qualify for your benefits.

We can help you help yourself – contact Alabama Social Security Disability insurance lawyers at Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt today to schedule a free consultation and discuss the options available to you. Located in Birmingham, we represent clients in Madison, Jefferson, and Montgomery Counties and throughout Central and Northern Alabama.

What Working Could Mean to You

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are certainly important when you are no longer able to work full-time. However, in the vast majority of cases, the amount people are eligible to receive is not equal to what they once earned.

But be warned if you earn more than $860.00 a month in 2006, then the Social Security Administration will treat those earnings as substantial gainful activity. If you are attempting to work more than two or three months, then many Administrative Law Judges would determine from that you are capable of working and deny your claim based on your ability to work. Every work activity that you engage in should be discussed with your attorney or case manager since this work activity can very well cause you to lose your claim.
