Webinar 102 How Wage Affects Title II Disability Benefits (SSDI, CDB, DWB) and Medicare 2023 Version
|
Training Session 102 Length: 91 minutes
| Title II contains three different disability benefits programs to an insured worker and qualifying family members of an insured worker. An insured worker may be entitled to a Social Security Disability Insurance benefit (SSDI). An adult son or daughter who is disabled or blind may be entitled a Childhood Disability Benefit (CDB). A disabled widow(er) may be entitled to a Disabled Widow(er)s Benefit (DWB).
This webinar answers two important questions: 1) "How much can I earn?” and 2) “What will happen to my disability benefit and Medicare if I work?"
The webinar explains the four events that must occur for the beneficiary to terminate from SSDI, CDB, or DWB because of their countable earned income. The four events are: 1) the completion of a Trial Work Period; 2) the completion of an Extended Period of Eligibility and Reentitlement Period; 3) when the SGA Cessation month occurs; and 4) when the Benefit Termination Month occurs.
If a disabled or blind Title II beneficiary is planning to work or is working, you must understand the four events to avoid potential large overpayments from occurring when the beneficiary has earned income.

(Hint: If the SSI recipient needs Medicaid in order to work, s/he may remain eligible for SSI and Medicaid, if annual earned income that does not exceed a threshold of (at least) $35,000 throughout the 50 states. Each state has a different threshold amount, the highest threshold is currently $85,727 in Alaska).
During this webinar the following will be explained:
1) Types of income that affect the SSI payment; 2) How the SSI benefit payment is determined; 3) The Section 1619(a) Special Payment provision; 4) Qualifications for Section 1619(b) status to protect Medicaid eligibility; and 5) The threshold level of earned income to maintain eligibility for SSI and Medicaid.
You must understand this process if an SSI recipient is planning to work or is working. The SSI payment process requires SSI recipients to properly budget their total monthly income to avoid overpayments and to meet basic monthly living expenses.
