I have the same question. I receive SSI which i'm told is a little different from SSD, and I've been offered a temporary job, but I really don't want to affect my benefits as well as lose my medicaid (I can't afford to do that cause my meds cost over 2000.00/mo). I'm so confused so if anyone has any information, that would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great New Year everyone!!!!! ;D

Black beauty,
Were I you, I would talk to my ASO (Aids Service Organization), and see if they could hook you up with a benefits counselor. How much you'd be allowed to make before getting your SSI taken away, would depend on how much you get from the SSI. SSI is like a welfare program-it's needs based. SSDI is based on how much a person earned from working over a certain period of time. So, for what you receive, how much you can earn would be figured, I'm thinking, almost the same way a welfare office would figure how much food stamps a person would get, based on their need. We can't give you a solid figure, like there is for SSDI. A benefits counselor would be able to help. Good luck.
