Yes. However, your gross wages should never exceed the limits of what Social Security defines as “substantial gainful activity”. The upper money limit on substantial gainful activity is contained in the following link: (http://ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html). Therefore, in 2018, gross wages should not exceed $1,180 a month. Once they exceed that figure, there are some legal options for not considering part of those wages if, for example, the work was sheltered, “made” work, accommodated work, or if medical expenses paid to allow you to work can be deducted from gross earnings. Speak to your attorney at Avard Law to obtain a questionnaire that must be completed by your employer or supervisor when your gross earnings exceed $1,180 a month.
