Can you work while your on social security disability

Social Security typically allows up to 45 hours of work per month if you're self-employed and on SSDI. That comes out to around 10 hours per week. The SSA will also see whether or not you're the only person working for your business. You must not be earning SGA, along with not working too many hours.

The idea is that your injuries are severe enough to prevent you from engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), so you need these benefits to help with your expenses instead. Thus, generally, you cannot maintain a job while receiving SSDI benefits in Arkansas.
