Can I Work Part Time Without Affecting My Benefits?

I got hurt on the job 2006 and now I am 63 years old. Can I work part-time 7 hour a week online without losing my benefits or my benefits being reduced? The rate is 10.80 per hour.

Hi,

If you're referring to Social Security benefits, then the answer is likely yes. You can generally earn up to $1180 per month without losing Social Security disability benefits (SSDI), and up to $17,040 this year without losing any reduced retirement benefits.

Best, Jerry
