I receive social security disability payments. Would it make sense to no longer qualify for social security payments, I receive $1146 per month in social security payments. I expect to earn around $3,000 - $4,000 per week if I can do the job working around 10-15 hours each week. I do not know how long I can receive payroll of commissions each week before I am taken off of social security. I have worked many times since collecting social security but find it hard to keep working long term due to pain issues. If I go off social security how hard will it be to re-qualify for Social Security again? I receive social security because of Rheumatoid Arthritis and the pain it causes making life and work extremely difficult.
you definitely need health insurance, on commission you probably won't get any. it can cost $1000 a month or more for full coverage. Although there are new treatments out there your condition will only get worse with time and you may eventually be faced with joint replacements. Sorry to be so negative as the job sounds very lucrative but maybe better the devil you know. As you asked this question on the Agingcare are you close to retirement age. Once you reach your full retirement age your SSI will cease and convert to SS probably with no loss of benefits. You will also automatically get Medicare unless your income is so low you continue to qualify for Medicaid. With Medicare it is advisable to purchase a supplemental policy to cover medications and the 20% part B does not cover of hospital costs (20%) I pay $118 a month and am just responsible for co pays in network of $10 for PCP and $25 for specialist and co-pays for drugs. They must be in the formulary and I try to stick with generics but you may need something more expensive for your RA. mine are usually $12 for 3 months. Only you can decide if its worth it for short term gain. If you feel you want to contribute to your community as a way of giving back consider volunteering.
