How will my income affect my disability benefits?

In Texas, how your income affects your disability benefits depends on the type of benefits you receive. Generally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits will be reduced or denied if your income exceeds a certain level. In some cases, income from wages, Social Security benefits, or other sources may also count when determining your eligibility. If you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, your income may affect the amount of money you receive. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will not pay you more than the maximum amount of disability benefits you are eligible for based on your work history. If your income exceeds the maximum amount the SSA can provide, they will reduce your benefits. Your other income will also be taken into account when determining eligibility for SSDI benefits. The SSA will look at the total amount of income you receive and subtract the amount of money the SSA would provide as your disability benefit. The remaining amount is the amount that will be used to determine your eligibility. It is important to note that if you receive disability benefits from another state, your income may affect your eligibility for SSDI and/or SSI benefits. Therefore, it is important to contact the Social Security Administration directly for more information on how your income will affect your disability benefits in Texas.
