This session will assume basic familiarity with the Regulations and POMS on SGA and its impact on SSDI benefits. We will focus on situations that advocates encounter in several contexts: initial claims with recent work activity; clients seeking advice on back to work efforts; and SSA initiated work reviews and terminations that often result in overpayment. We will illustrate the rules and potential solutions by working through case examples.
