SS Disability Benefits after going back to work?

Interviewer: I used to get Social Security disability benefits. I tried going back to work, but it didn’t work out. Can you start my benefits again, or do I need a file a new application?

Ken Hess: This one is a specialized question for some of our clients where we encourage clients who are on disability to try to return to work. Try to get into that special job where they might be able to work in spite of their condition. If they are able to work and their benefits have to be stopped because they no longer meet the requirements for receiving disability, they get quite a bit of time to work themselves off of Social Security and if they are on SSI their benefit starts to be reduced as their income goes up. So, we do have the ability for putting people back on, if their condition is the same, if they lose their job, and if it’s within five years of last having received Social Security.

So, we do have that provision, clients can contact us. We would start benefits, but we would have to verify that they meet all the requirements for being expedited back into payment.
