What Happens Now That My Earnings Have Dropped?

I completed my 9 month trail period. I entered my
Epe, I did sga for one month.I went into a 3 month grace period, and benefits were suspended, now I am under sga. What happens next.

Hi. If you're still within 36 months of the end of your trial work period (TWP) then it sounds like you should be able to get your benefits reinstated. You'll need to contact Social Security, and they'll probably require you to submit proof of your monthly earnings.

Best, Jerry
