Hi, Robert.  Yes, it is true that one cannot draw SSI when they start 
working full time but the SSDI program works a bit different.  You 
can draw SSDI for a year after you start working (if you make over 
$500 a month) which is what they consider a trial work period.  If 

your job doesn't work out, then your SSDI is not affected and will 
not be stopped.
 
I realize it is hard for some to work and I think the benefits should 
be for those who need it.  I have problems dealing with those who refuse 
to work when they can or refuse to take a job because it is not what 
they want.  Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do until 
something better comes along.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying one 
should take a job that doesn't pay enough for them to live on.
 
If the ADA ever passes, I think we'll see some changes for the better. 
 I hope so.
