There have been rules put in place where it is possible to still collect SSI benefits in Indiana even if you are working. Considering you are earning an income, this can sometimes create problems and you may have difficulties obtaining benefits while you are working but always know that you can seek help from an Indianapolis disability law firm to fight for your legal rights.

When you have become disabled and get approved to start collecting SSI benefits in Indiana, sometimes your impairment may not completely leave you out of work for the rest of your life. You may be able to get back on your feet and continue your job or at least some sort of job; however, you may not be earning the same income you once earned. 

How a Trial Work Period Determines Your SSI Benefits in Indiana

A trial work period has been implemented to further test your work ability. You will have to prove that you are capable of earning at least $720 for 9 months in a 60 month period.

Once your trial work period is over and you are capable of working, you are still able to collect SSI benefits in Indiana for the next 3 years for every month that you do not make substantial earnings.

In order to keep receiving benefits you must keep reporting your work activity and your disability to the Social Security Administration. Your Indianapolis disability law service can help you with this process and/or if your claim gets denied, your attorneys can provide you with disability law service for your right to collect benefits.
