Can I work while receiving veterans disability benefits?

Yes, you can work while receiving veterans disability benefits in Alaska. However, the amount of work you can do and the type of work you can do is limited. Generally, you will be able to work if you are receiving veterans disability benefits. However, your income must be below the threshold established for the state of Alaska. This amount changes from year to year. If your income is above this threshold, you may be asked to demonstrate your ability to do work and report any changes in your earned income. If your income remains above the threshold, you may face a reduction in your disability benefits. Your work must also not adversely affect your disability or reduce it to below the level required by the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you are able to work, but there are limitations or restrictions related to your disability, you will need to plan your work to accommodate the limitations. If you choose to work while receiving veterans disability benefits, you may be eligible to participate in the Supported Employment Program, which is a program that helps disabled veterans gain meaningful and sustainable employment. Additionally, you may be able to work in a sheltered workshop in Alaska if you qualify.
