[QUOTE="Star*, post: 541116, member: 4964"] I know what it SAYS.........and it IS in writing........but trust this little bit of advice ------CONSULT a SSDI attorney (gratis) BEFORE YOU go doing ANY job - because it is our understanding that IF you can work a few hourse for a few weeks for a few years? Your SSDI is "RE-EVALUATED" and then you are subject to LOOSING your SSDI because - well if you can work a little? Then you can work a little more, and then you can work....period. So be ye careful unless working full time or part time without SSDI income really IS your goal. (your state laws may be different) but DF was told the above, as Voc Rehab wanted to "retrain" him from being a Master plumber to sitting in a call center for 5-10 hours a week - talking on the phone for - SOME income to "offset" his SSDI - and we had to FIGHT to prove that as a man 110% disabled, who could NOT sit nor stand 2-3 hours at a time - as a call taker, or a convenience store clerk - or anything else retrainable? It rendered him utterly, and completely disabled. Thus he can not take ANY part time -pesuedo part time, jobs at ALL. And the atty told him to be "cautious" about even starting an Ebay business with his social security number because the SS people DO check that as well - so be warned. [/QUOTE]
