Can I return to work while getting Social Security disability benefits?
Yes, you can return to work while receiving Social Security disability benefits. We have special rules that allow you to work without jeopardizing your benefits. This includes a nine-month Trial Work Period to test your ability to work.
If you get disability benefits, report changes in your condition or work activity by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or contacting your local Social Security office.
