My sister has a high grade cancer and receives $600.00 disability beneift, no SSI as she has savings of $2,500.00. A local car dealer wants her to search for parts from home for 10-12 variable hours a week at $12.00 an hour legally not under the table when she is able to do it. Does anyone know if this is within the limits a benefits recipiant can receive?

Social Security Disability (SSDI)
Working While Disabled
Amounts effective 01/2007
• Trial work period.
A period of nine months (not necessarily consecutive) in a rolling 60 consecutive month period when earnings of a Social Security beneficiary who is blind or disabled will not affect his or her benefit. Effective 01/2007 months with earnings of more than $640 are counted as trial work months.
• Substantial gainful activity level (SGA).
$900 a month effective 01/2007 for people who are disabled.
• Extended period of Eligibility.
For three years after a trial work period, a Social Security beneficiary who is blind or disabled may receive a disability check for any month that his/her earnings are below the substantial gainful activity level.
• Expedited Reinstatement of benefits.
Within 60 months from the month of termination of benefits due to work, if the individual is unable to work because of the same medical condition, they can file a request for reinstatement of benefits. While Social Security is making a new determination, the individual may receive up to six months of provisional benefits, including Medicare and Medicaid, as appropriate.
