How do you work while you are on disiability?

Many people who are collecting disability benefits under either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) would like to attempt to do some work. Working can provide a supplement to income, but, more importantly, working improves the spirit and can help alleviate the depression that often accompanies total disability.

For persons with HCV symptoms, there are days when some work is possible even though it may not be eight hours, five days a week. Many people, however, are hesitant to try any type of employment out of fear that it may jeopardize their Social Security benefits.
