I have a pos. recruit who wants to sign but she's afraid that the income might mess up her disablity payments. ANy one run into this problem?
 
I think it would depend on what her disability is. Many people are able to work even if on disability. In fact, many agencies encourage people to get other jobs while still getting disability. There is a program in California through state disability that does that.
 
YesMY daughter and my husband both are disabled.

I love selling PC but, it is a NIGHTMARE when it comes to the disablity case workers. SHe will only be allowed to sell or to have only so much income without losing her benifits. They tell me that it will all be differant when my daughter turns 18, but currently I can only make $135 a month for us not to lose any benifits. SUCKS

Social Security adult disablity may be differant. BUt I doubt it. I don't know if she has any children involved or not. Tell her to be VERY careful.

The benifits are so hard to get approved that she can't afford to screw it up.

Do they take your deductions into consideration? And is it by month or looking back at a year or a quarter?
 
Yes, they always look at my deductions and assets and expensies.

It is really fustrating:yuck:
