Update: Wage Reporting for People who Receive SSDI

https://goo.gl/TyGPVx

As we've discussed in the past, reporting your wages is important to avoid overpayments from Social Security. An overpayment occurs when Social Security sends you a benefit payment higher than what you're eligible to receive. You can learn more about wage reporting and overpayments in Wage Reporting: Myths, Tips and Ticket to Work.

Social Security recently released a new tool to make it easier for SSDI beneficiaries or their representative payees to report wages securely online. When you sign up for a my Social Security account, you'll be able to report your wages online from your computer or mobile device. After you report your wages, you'll be able to save or print a copy of your receipt for your records.

At this time, the tool is only available for people who receive Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits. If you receive SSI benefits, you may continue reporting your wages through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Mobile Wage Reporting, SSI Telephone Wage Reporting, or by visiting a local field office.
