Sheila,

It is true that you can earn no more than $900/month while on disability social security. The way they keep track is by your income tax returns. Also, if you applied for disability social security please be careful about how much you are earning until your decision is reached. My cousin was denied on her first application and then she got a lawyer and appealed the decision. She finally got disability social security but now they are after her for over payments. Seems that while she was fighting the initial decision she was working full time. She did not apply due to breast cancer but for some other condition.

Also, if you do have income your social security benefits may be taxed. It depends upon how much you earn and there is a form you use to compute how much of your disability social security is taxable.
