[MDABS] Earning Money with SSI and Work: Virtual Doors Open in Two Hours!

[Bridges Help Desk]

The Bridges Helpdesk is pleased to bring to you an SSI expert who will
be going through the ins and outs of SSI and work earnings rules.
Don't miss it -- happening tonight!
Want to learn what to do if SSA says you owe them some of your summer
internship or part time job money? You can hold onto your earnings and
learn why you are entitled to them in tonight's info session! The Zoom
room will open at 6:30, and we will begin the program at 6:45 PM.
If you are a student and you are unsure whether earnings from your
part time job or internship are allowable under SSI, look no further!
You don't have to panic about whether your summer wages belong to you
or SSA. We'll break down all of the rules and jargon and show you what
money is yours and why.

The bridges Helpdesk will be holding an interactive informational
session in honor of National Be a Millionaire Day where we aim to
answer all of your SSI work questions. We will provide an overview of
certain student income exclusions which will help you hold onto your
earnings without them counting against your SSI payments. Join us to
secure your financial future so that you can be the millionaire you
want to be!
