How will my income affect my disability benefits?

In Oregon, your income will affect the amount of disability benefits you are eligible to receive. To qualify for disability benefits, you must have a severe physical or mental disability that prevents you from working. If you have a job, your income must be below a certain level set by the Social Security Administration (SSA). If your income is too high, you may not qualify for disability benefits. The amount of income you can receive and still qualify for disability benefits in Oregon varies depending on the type of disability benefits you receive. If you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, your income must not exceed $1,180 per month. If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, your income must not exceed $733 per month. In addition to your income, other factors may affect how much disability benefits you can receive. These include the amount of your Social Security taxes that you have paid over the years, your age, and the severity of your disability. If your income is higher than the limits set by the SSA, you may still be able to receive some disability benefits, but your benefits may be reduced. If your income is too high, you may not qualify for disability benefits at all. Therefore, it’s important to be aware of the income limits that apply to your particular type of disability benefits.
