Q & A
I miss working. If I go back to work, will I automatically lose my Social Security disability benefits?
Answer: No. Social Security has several work incentives to help you ease back into the workforce. You may be able to continue receiving benefits during a “trial work period”, and in most cases your medical coverage will continue after you begin working. We may be able to help you return to work without losing your benefits. These work incentives are like a safety net for people who want to go to work but aren’t sure they can. For information about Social Security’s work incentives, visit our Web site, the Work Site, at www.socialsecurity.gov/work or read the online Red Book on Work Incentives atwww.socialsecurity.gov/redbook.
