Many people assume that receiving disability benefits means you cannot work. This is a common misconception that can prevent individuals from pursuing opportunities and achieving financial independence. At Cervoni Disability Law, we help clients navigate Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) while understanding their rights to work.

Myth 1: You Lose Benefits if You Work

Contrary to popular belief, programs like the Ticket to Work and work incentives through the Social Security Administration (SSA) allow beneficiaries to test their ability to work without losing benefits. These programs provide support and guidance to ensure a smooth and secure transition.

Myth 2: Only Full-Time Work is Allowed

Many assume that any employment will jeopardize disability benefits. In reality, part-time work or flexible schedules are often possible, and earnings thresholds are carefully calculated to avoid any penalty. Understanding these limits is essential, and our team can walk you through them.

Myth 3: Employers Will Not Hire Disabled Workers

Another misconception is that disabilities prevent meaningful employment. Many employers value diverse skill sets and provide reasonable accommodations. Your disability does not define your abilities, and at Cervoni Disability Law we ensure you know your rights and protections under the law.

Myth 4: Navigating Employment and Benefits is Too Complicated

While rules can be complex, you don't have to do it alone. With guidance from an experienced attorney, you can confidently pursue work while maintaining your benefits and protecting your financial and legal interests.

Disability benefits don’t have to limit your career ambitions. Knowing your rights and options is key to achieving both financial security and personal growth.
