<div><div dir="ltr">Correct. For example at $17.00 an hour, you would make $2720 a month, which is over the $2110 limit. With the deductions you can take, including taxes, transportation, etc, you can often get things down to $2110. It does have some to do where you live though. I did the calculations for one job and one city and states that I was looking at moving to, and the job I was after was barely going to make it possible for me to stay on SSDI since it paid $3500 a month before taxes.<br clear="none">Jordan<br clear="none"><br clear="none">-----Original Message-----<br clear="none">From: Job-Discussions <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:job-discussions-bounces@nfbnet.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">job-discussions-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>> On Behalf Of Steven Atkinson via Job-Discussions<br clear="none">Sent: Saturday, February 6, 2021 12:42 PM<br clear="none">To: 'Job Discussions internet Mailing List' <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:job-discussions@nfbnet.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">job-discussions@nfbnet.org</a>><br clear="none">Cc: Steven Atkinson <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:sm.atkinson@comcast.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sm.atkinson@comcast.net</a>><br clear="none">Subject: Re: [Job-Discussions] 'This isn't Bernie's first rodeo': Senate Republicans tried to force Democrats to take a tough vote on a $15 minimum wage, but it did not go as planned<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Please correct me if I'm wrong about me believing a blind S.S.D.I. wage earner being able to/allowed to net earn a monthly income of $2,190.00 during 2021 for them to continue receiving their S.S.D.I. indefinitely. So, I'm confident confirming my belief of a blind S.S.D.I. wage earner earning $17.00 an hour working 40 hours a week earns $2,958.00 a month. Therefore, $768.00 a month is what the blind S.S.D.I. wage earner needs in their costs to work expenses/deductions such as work transportation costs, Guide Dog expense and/or the many other costs blind people have to lower their S.G.A./Substantial Gained Amount for them to be able to work their job worry free of the horrible circumstances of giving-up and/or losing their S.S.D.I.. A blind employed person has many legitimate expenses/costs for them to be able to be substantually employed and we all know the major cost to work deduction from our countable income is our transportation to/from work each day. So, a blind employed person paying someone $700.00-$800.00 a month is not out of line in my opinion. But, I'd rather earn the exact $2,190.00 a month and not deduct a cent/penny from my countable income because legitimately playing the deduction/work expense game with the S.S.A. is not a fun game to play!
