What is the amount of money that can be received outside of SSDI before it affects your monthly payments? A 1099 will be filed by the issuer.

Hi Melinda, thank you for your question. Social Security has special rules that make it possible for people with disabilities receiving Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to work and still receive monthly payments. These are called work incentives.
For SSDI beneficiaries, there is a Trial Work Period (TWP) and then an Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE). The TWP allows you to test your ability to work for at least 9 months. During this period, you will receive your full disability benefit regardless of how much you earn as long as your work activity is reported and you continue to have a disabling impairment. In 2020, any month in which earnings exceed $910 is considered a month of the 9-month trial work period.
Once you’ve completed your TWP, you get a 36-month safety net called the EPE. During the EPE, you get benefits for all months your earnings or work activities are below the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) level as long as you continue to have a disabling impairment. Social Security will suspend cash benefits for months earnings are over SGA and start benefits again if earnings fall below the SGA level. In 2020, you are earning SGA if your earnings, after any allowable deductions, are more than $1,260 in a month.
Check out Social Security’s Red Book for descriptions of the many work incentives.

I still haven’t received any payment in my Bangkok Bank account where I have been been receiving my SS as a direct deposit for 1 1/2 years now.
I wrote to the SS office in the Philippines to ask about it. I received an auto-reply that told me I would receive a reply within 10 business days.
That was 20 business days ago, as of today, and I still haven’t received a reply, or any payment.

Dear Sirs,
I haven’t received my SSA1099 and I cant do my taxes.
Also, the system doesn’t allow me to open an account at mysocialsecurity.com.
I called once or twice daily and I wait around one or two hours until the communication breaks down.
I am desperate.
Please, help me.
