Hey Jimmy, A Trial Work Month is 9 months, not consecutive, in a rolling, 60 month period of time, that a person on disability can make any amount of money over and above (770 dollars in2014, it goes up each year). If u were working and u were going to use one because u were going over by say one dollar, u may as well go over by 10000.00, just an exaggeration, because u used it either way. it is sort of a gift month that u can make any amount of money without being penalized for u ssdi money, but, if u really were making that much money, would u really need social security?
I have worked a little for a cleaning company doing vacumning, throwing a few bags of garbage out, dustings, in a couple office buildings. It was 12 hours a week, and was 108 dollars a week or 432 dollars a month and the good thing, Jimmy, was that I was working with a partner, my wife! So, when, I had to sit, or had low blood sugar or or or!! I get so pissed off with this, Jimmy!!
Now, 432 dollars is below 770, so, I could possibly work forever at that amount and never use up the TWM's, thus no problem. Well, Some months get 3 paychecks in them because of the way the calendar goes and for a time I was getting 15 hours. Well 15 times 9 at the time equaled 135 times 4 equaled 540, but multiply by 6 and u get 810, or over 770 and u use a trial work month.
Now, Jimmy, I am working 5 hours a week at 8 dollars an hour, a total change, different site wife took an other job and they kept me there, so, now I'm making 160 dollars a month or 200 dollars a month. Nowhere near the TWM total! I stayed on as a favor for 2 days a week, but, when treatment starts, I'm done! DONE, DONE, DONE ok jimmy, also, Jimmy, some peeople come on here under assumed names, u know??
So, Jimmy, That is about all, that, I am, going, to, talk, about, today!! Okay, JIMMY??........Concerned
