Does any one know how pride industries work program works? I had a call in friday to find out but they were closed by time I got home and saw the message.

He said all pride workers have to have a alta worker or something like that, and call this number get one then we'll give you a tour of the place.

Ok, that's great and all but I still have no clue about the program. Do they take what you make out of youe SSI check, I was told they pick you up take you in and bring you back, stuff like that.

Feline- you can attempt to work,,,,and the allow so many months to see if it works out. but you MUST MUST MUST report it.

SS has made some incrdulous errors.

The trial work period allows Social Security disability beneficiaries to test their ability to work for at least nine months. During the trial work period, you can receive full benefits no matter how much you earn, as long as you continue to have a disabling impairment and you report your work activity. The trial work period continues until you have completed nine trial work months within a 60-month period.
In 2006, any month in which you earn $620 or more counts as one of the trial work months. For 2005, this amount was $590.
After your trial work period ends, we then look at your earnings to determine whether you are working at a level we consider substantial. If you are, your cash benefits will stop. In 2006, average monthly earnings of $860 are considered substantial. For 2005, the amount was $830. There are different limits for people disabled because of blindness.
If you continue to work, there are other rules that allow you to receive benefits. For 36 months following completion of the trial work period, you can receive your full Social Security disability benefit for any month in which your earnings fall below the "substantial" level. You can find more information about available work incentives in our leaflet, Working While Disabled-How We Can Help (SSA Publication No. 05-10095).

Thank you. Anything done at pride will doubtfully pass 860 lol. I'll have to call today and find out more, it's monday they'll be open. And I'll have to check in with the lady that reviews my SSI stuff every3 years, or when ever they feel like it.

SSI is tuff. I susgest working off the books to supplement. Or starting your own business and have someone else hold all the titles. I once remember a post you had that talked about your ability to sew. Ever consider making a craft to sell at festivals? That money would be yours on the side. Sell stuff on Ebay. Do flea markets. SSI can be very invasive. I like to keep them out of the picture as much as possible when it comes to my earnings over and above.
