Re: disability eligibility
You may have a problem, as your recent earnings will likely show up in SSA records if taxed. I'm pretty sure they ask you to let them know if you return to work as well. Ideas: 1. If you worked less than three months and cannot work anymore, you can consider calling it an "unsuccessful work attempt" (maybe even up to 9 months in the right circumstances). 2. Did you earn more than $900.00/month? Anything under this amount (which changes yearly) is not considered to be work by the SSA. 3. If you must stop work due to your disability, get medical support in writing to show SSA you can go forward with additional evidence of disability. 4. Contact a lawyer that is a Social Security specialist to review other ideas. Good luck!
