I have been avoiding posting because of being attacked and seeing others attacked..(not just simply telling people they need to pay attention to the shop guideline)..but actual personal attacks.
BUT THERE IS WRONG INFO HERE.
A trial work period for most people on SSDI kicks in if you make $780/month (not $70). A small number of people do not get a trial work period.
With SSI, any work income above $85 affects the amount of the benefit for that month (other income such as bank interest or certain gift income is also included in the total).
The 80 hours of self employment referred to SSDI. It may also be a factor for SSI when they review your case to determine if you are able to be gainfully employed. But that can't be an absolute determining factor, because someone can work 80 hours/month and still only make $100. A specific case I know of is someone with intellectual disability who makes and sells crafts.
(most) Regular employees don't drive during the course of their workday..but driving for the purpose of work (not just commuting to the 1st stop or home) IS WORK TIME. I used to work a job where I had to go to about 5 clients per day...the time driving to clients was WORK time....that time from shop to shop does count as work time...and you can't deduct miles from your work expenses if you aren't reporting that you are working at that time
will no longer be reading replies to this topic as there is a high chance of personal attacks.
The $70 threshold was a typo, it is indeed $780 for 2015.
The $85 amount mentioned must refer to SSI which is different from SSDI.
Drive time is treated the same in all cases, SSDI, SSI, and regular workers. Is is not specific to SSDI.
JM, part of the reason attacks go on are because people are not adapt at phrasing their feelings for an online system. For example, in your text, you typed the words with regard to wrong infor in all caps. If we were standing person to person, I would take that as you getting in my face and shouting at me. That would naturally put me on the defense. The fact that you state you won't be reading replies to this topic, closing the conversation appears to be a "hit and run" reply, not giving me the chance to correct my statement. Those are just some of the reasons why attacks go on.
As was stressed in the beginning of my post, and I stress again, there are varying timeframes and thresholds. Recommendation was made to check the goverment website, and the information that was provided.
