        The SSA allows a 9 month trial work period before
terminating benefits.  Therefore you can collect benefits and
work too.

        Well then it comes down to the questionof whether you
want to work or want to collect.  There is a lot of
underemployment in this country.  Cab drivers in Orlando have
degrees in aeronautical engineering.  A former nuclear power
plant adminstrator now works as a line crew supervisor.
