Can I Work Part-Time?

If you were on total disability at age 60 and am currently age 66. Can you work part time? My ssdi went to ssi at age 65.
It is part time work 10-15 hours. Just not sure if I will get penalized. I will be 67 in October. I had a BMT and had issues with CGVHD and currently removed from all medicines as of today. I just don't want my SSI to drop.

Hi,

If you are at least age 66, you can work and earn any amount without losing any of your Social Security benefits. However, if you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then any increase in your income could cause your SSI payments to be reduced or stop.

Best, Jerry
