Social Security Disability

The Social Security system provides a monthly disability check to certain individuals who have worked long enough under the Social Security system and are totally disabled as per the definition in the Social Security Act. The disability must last or be expected to last at least 12 months or to result in death.

The Social Security Act defines "disability" as "inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

Question: Could I try to work while I'm receiving disability benefits?

If you would like to schedule a initial consultation contact an Kansas social security disability attorney, representing clients in Lawrence at McCullough, Wareheim & LaBunker, P.A. Give us a call at (785) 233-2362 or complete our inquiry form.


Answer

Yes, if you would like to try to return to work, there are several work incentive programs within the Social Security system. You should contact the Social Security Administration and/or a competent representative/attorney and ask about the work incentive or employment support programs. These involve programs such as a "trial work period" and "work incentives." If you attempt to return to work but your condition does not allow you to continue, your benefits would continue in most circumstances.
