From my understanding if your getting ssdi your un able to work at all I wouldn't take that chance
Great question! When it comes to SSDI, the Social Security Administration (SSA) sets a national earnings limit rather than state-specific ones — so Louisiana follows the same federal rules.
Generally, if you earn $1,260 or more per month, you are likely to lose eligibility for SSDI benefits. Earning less than that may still Show Full Answer
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member its a lot process. PHASE ONE: Its called a trial period. The 2026 limit is 1210.00 before taxes. You get 9 months. So if your pay is lower than that the limit it does not count against your 9 months if it does it will take away one of those 9 months. That is just in case you dont want to stay at the job. During those month you will keep the full amount of you ssdi. PHASE TWO: Its called EPE(extended period of eligibility) After the 9 months are up you have 36 consecutive months of a limit. You do get 3 months grace period and you keep your full check. Limit for 2026 goes up 1690.00. If your wages are below that you keep you'll check but just a lower amount. If its over that your check will get paused for that month. PHASE THREE: After those 3 months. If you continue to make over the 1690.00, your check completely stops. If you are making under that limit they will just lower your check amount. You then have a limit of 5 years if you are making over the limit and not getting the check. In those 5 years and you stop working, you can just call ss, tell them and they will start your check again. After the 5 year limit you have to completely reapply again. So if you stop working within those 5 years because you dont want to reapply, you will have to wait one year before working again.
I’ve been on SSDI my whole life where I can work some
Depends my opinion, amen
