After woking full time for 10 years, I had to stop working because of a disability. I have since gone on social security, but I am going stir crazy not working. I have talked to someone at ss office, but I am still confused on the amounts. Anyone know how much I can make each year and still keep my ss? Currently I only draw a small amount of money each month and because of the small amount it is not taxable. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!!

OK, some people are just judging a book by its cover without knowing what they are talking about. Before you tell me that I should do this or that instead of wasting your tax dollars maybe you should consider a few things....1. I worked over 10 years FULL TIME to provide for my family & paid taxes the entire time 2. Before I was given ss I had to go to a court appointed doctor to be checked over & then I had to go before a judge, who had someone with him who took into account what my job had been and whether or not I was trained to do anything else 3. I was diagnosed 2years prior to going on disability with rheumatoid arthiritis ( if you don't know what this is then look it up) yet I continued to work while in pain 4. Since going on disability I have tried to go back to school & though slow I am getting there, did I mention that I am using my ss to pay for my school, so DON"T JUDGE ME! My problem is that on my good days I am restless & need something to occupy my mind!

If you are currently on SS disability and you go back to work, Social Security will review your status to determine if you are still disabled.
Go to the link below and read about working while disabled.

If you get a job and have an income, why do you care about still drawing social security?? You will be making more money and have a purpose every day. Accomplishing two goals--and all without the support of the government.
If you are capable of working then it is totally unethical (and maybe illegal) for you to sit at home and let our tax dollars pay your bills. That's why the system is overloaded and falling apart.

It depends on how old you are and how long you worked before going on social security. You have to ask someone at the Social Security office for a definitive answer.

collecting social security at 63, i understand that there are penalties if making over a certain amount of money.
