Join my world of social security help
Am I still eligible for social security benefits? Yes, you can file for disability benefits if you are making less than a certain amount per month, averaged over a full year. The amount changes annually, so check the official Social Security web site or booklets to find out what the current limit is. However, your current income is not the only number the state agency will consider when evaluating your case. If you could make more money by switching to another job, you will be ineligible for disability benefits. The state agency will consider your training, experience, age, and medical condition when deciding whether you are able to do other work, so you will not be pushed into doing work for which you are untrained or which strains your physical capacity.
