You can work and make up to $750.00 a month before it may have an effect on your Social Security Disability Income benefits. If you start collecting Social Security Disability Income benefits and begin earning $750.00 in a month, it will trigger a trial work period. A trial work period consists of nine (9) months (which do not have to be consecutive), over a five (5) year period, where you can work and earn any amount. Once you use up the nine months, you could lose your benefits depending on the amount you earn.
