Certified Peer CE opportunity
Impact of Earned Income on Social Security Disability (SSDI) and SSI Benefits
Date: Sept 4, 2025
Time: 1-2 pm Central
People receiving disability payments may wish to try working and increasing their financial independence, but are often concerned that work is not allowed or will cancel their benefits. In reality, the Social Security Administration (SSA), which approves disability benefits, recognizes that employment is important for individual physical and mental health and supports people to be successful in the workplace. In this webinar, the presenters will give an overview of disability programs such as SSI and SSDI and explain how earned income can impact those benefits as well as related Medicaid or Medicare health benefits.
SAMHSA Program to Advance Recovery Knowledge (SPARK) is pleased to offer a series of webinars for certified peer workers to increase their understanding of how to support employment-related recovery goals.
