Social security benefits and other cool stuff
The amount changes annually, so check the official Social Security web site or booklets to find out what the current limit is. However, be aware that your earnings in your current job are not the only earnings the state agency will take into account. If you are capable of earning a higher income by changing to another job, you will not be approved for disability benefits. The state agency will take into account your medical condition, education, skills, work experience, and age when determining whether you could move to another job, so you will not be required to do work that you are not well enough to do or that you have not been trained to do. My doctors say there is no treatment that can help me, so why do I have to keep going to doctors? When you first file for social security benefits, the state agency that manages your case will need a complete evaluation of your health, a process that may require repeated doctors' visits.
