This has come up several times over the years I've been reading these boards.
It depends what kind of disability, and how much they make doing PC.Social Security PDF that talks aobut it is here:
http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdfAnd a search on ChefSuccess on "disability" brought up older thread like these two:

i appreciate your response, thank you!I did do a search and found those before I asked. I meant if you were out for a couple months because you had a baby, had surgery, etc. and were receiving disability pay from your work.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_happ...erm_disability_while_you_work_your_second_jobWhat happens if you collect short term disability while you work your second job?Inisability Insurance [Edit categories] Answer:If your Short-Term Disability Insurance policy has an "Own-occupation" definition of disability, and your second job is not related with your main occupation, you could continue receiving short term DI benefits as long as you are still disabled and can't perform your duties of your main job. That being said, your disability benefit may be reduced as a result of the other income, however. Fortunately, many disability policies have incentives to encourage people to work as much as they are safely able, so it's possible that you will still earn more between both sources of income than you would from just one or the other. It should be noted that if the second job is related and/or the Short Term Disability company can prove that you are able to work at your primary job based on your duties you are performing at your second job, your benefits may stop. The best place to start is to check your policy definitions and verify that your disability due to injury or sickness is covered on an "own-occ" or own occupation basis, and review what it says about partial disability benefits.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can understand your concern about being on short term disability from your day job and how it may affect your income from Pampered Chef. While I am not a legal or financial expert, I suggest consulting with a professional to determine if your Pampered Chef income would be allowed during your time on short term disability. However, I do know that Pampered Chef offers a flexible and supportive work environment, so I would imagine that they would be understanding and accommodating in such a situation. Best of luck to you!
