2025 SSDI SGA Limit: Everything You Need to Know

2025 SSDI SGA Limit: Everything You Need to Know

Individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits may be concerned about the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) limit, which determines their eligibility for benefits. In 2025, the SGA limit is set to increase significantly, potentially affecting many SSDI recipients. Understanding the implications of this change and its impact on benefits is crucial for individuals relying on SSDI income.

The 2025 SGA limit adjustment is a result of the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) applied to Social Security benefits. The COLA is intended to keep pace with inflation and ensure that benefits retain their purchasing power. However, the substantial increase in the SGA limit has raised concerns among SSDI recipients, as it could potentially affect their eligibility for benefits and access to healthcare coverage.

Individuals earning above the SGA limit may lose their SSDI benefits. The SGA limit for 2025 is set at $1,820 per month for individuals who are not blind and $2,260 per month for blind individuals. If an SSDI recipient earns above these limits, their benefits may be suspended or terminated. Additionally, SSDI recipients who lose their benefits due to exceeding the SGA limit may also lose access to Medicare coverage, which provides essential health insurance for individuals with disabilities. Understanding the potential impact of the 2025 SGA limit is critical for SSDI recipients to plan for the future and make informed decisions regarding their work activities and financial situation.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA)

Definition of Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA)

Substantial gainful activity (SGA) is a term used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to describe the level of work activity at which someone should be able to support themself financially and is not considered disabled. For 2025, the SGA limit is $1,470 per month for individuals and $2,460 per month for blind individuals.

The SSA considers a variety of factors when determining whether someone is engaged in SGA, including the type of work performed, the amount of time spent working, and the earnings received. If someone’s earnings exceed the SGA limit, they are considered to be engaged in SGA and are not eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

However, there are some exceptions to the SGA rule. For example, someone who is blind and earns less than the SGA limit may still be eligible for benefits if they meet other eligibility requirements.

SGA Limits for 2025

The SGA limits for 2025 are as follows:

Non-blind individuals Blind individuals
Monthly limit $1,470 $2,460
Yearly limit $17,640 $29,520

The SSA reviews the SGA limits each year and adjusts them based on changes in the cost of living.

Determining SGA Eligibility in 2025

Step 1: Determining Your Income

To determine your eligibility for SGA in 2025, you will need to calculate your monthly income. This includes any earnings from employment as well as any other income, such as Social Security benefits, pensions, or investments. All income, including money earned from a spouse, must be counted.

Step 2: Comparing Your Income to the SGA Limit

Once you have determined your monthly income, you will need to compare it to the SGA limit established for 2025. The SGA limit for 2025 is $1,470.00 for individuals and $2,460.00 for blind individuals. If your monthly income exceeds these limits, you will not be eligible for SGA.

Year SGA Limit for Individuals SGA Limit for Blind Individuals
2025 $1,470.00 $2,460.00

Step 3: Considering Other Factors

In addition to your income, there are other factors that can affect your eligibility for SGA. These factors include your age, education, and work experience. For example, if you are over the age of 55 and have a high school diploma, you may be able to earn more than the SGA limit without losing your eligibility for benefits.

Updated SGA Thresholds

The Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) thresholds for 2025 have been updated by the Social Security Administration (SSA). These thresholds determine whether an individual with a disability can earn enough income to be considered as having SGA.

For individuals who are blind, the SGA threshold for 2025 is $2,460 per month. For individuals who are not blind, the SGA threshold is $1,470 per month.

If an individual’s earnings exceed the SGA threshold for their disability status, they may be considered to be engaging in SGA and may lose their Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.

It’s important to note that the SGA thresholds are adjusted annually based on the cost of living. The SSA publishes the updated thresholds each year in the Federal Register.

Trial Work Period

Individuals who receive SSDI benefits are allowed to participate in a Trial Work Period (TWP). During the TWP, they can earn income above the SGA threshold without losing their benefits. The TWP lasts for up to nine months over a rolling five-year period.

If an individual exceeds the SGA threshold during the TWP, their benefits will be suspended but not terminated. If they remain above the SGA threshold for a period of 36 consecutive months, their benefits will be terminated.

Extended Period of Eligibility

Individuals who have worked for a significant amount of time before becoming disabled may be eligible for an Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE) after their TWP ends. During the EPE, they can earn income above the SGA threshold for up to 36 consecutive months without losing their benefits.

To qualify for the EPE, an individual must have earned at least $5,000 in each of the five years preceding the onset of their disability.

Earning Limits and Work Incentives

Earning limits determine the amount of income you can earn from work while receiving SSDI benefits without losing your eligibility. These limits are adjusted annually to reflect changes in the average wage index.

In 2025, the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) limit for individuals who are not blind is projected to be $1,750 per month. For individuals who are blind, the SGA limit is projected to be $2,460 per month.

Work Incentives

Work incentives are programs that help SSDI beneficiaries gradually return to work without losing their benefits. These programs include:

  • Ticket to Work (TTW) program: Allows beneficiaries to receive certain services from approved employment networks (ENs) to help them prepare for and find work.
  • Trial Work Period (TWP): Allows beneficiaries to work at a level above the SGA limit for up to 12 months during a 60-month period without losing benefits.
  • Extended Period of Earned Income (EPE): Allows beneficiaries to continue receiving benefits for up to 36 months after their TWP ends if they continue to work at a level above the SGA limit.
  • Impairment-Related Work Expenses (IRWE): Deduction from earnings for expenses related to the beneficiary’s impairment that are necessary for work.
  • Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS): Allows beneficiaries to set aside income for expenses related to achieving a work goal, such as education or job training.

Reporting Changes in Earnings

If your earnings change, you must report the change to Social Security within 30 days. You can do this by calling the Social Security Administration (SSA) or by going online to the SSA website.

When you report a change in earnings, you will need to provide the following information:

  • Your Social Security number
  • Your name and address
  • The date of the change in earnings
  • The amount of your new earnings

Consequences of Not Reporting a Change in Earnings

If you do not report a change in earnings to the SSA within 30 days, you may be penalized. The SSA may reduce or stop your benefits if you do not report a change in earnings.

Earning Limits for 2025

The SSA has set earning limits for 2025. If you earn more than the earning limit, your benefits may be reduced or stopped.

Disability Category Monthly Earning Limit Yearly Earning Limit
Blindness $2,460 $29,520
Disability $1,470 $17,640

If you are unsure whether or not your earnings exceed the earning limit, you can contact the SSA for assistance.

Reporting Changes in Earnings for SSDI Recipients

If you are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits, you must report any changes in your earnings to the SSA within 30 days.

There are several ways to report a change in earnings for SSDI recipients:

  • By calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213
  • By going online to the SSA website
  • By mailing a change of earnings report to the SSA

You can find more information about reporting changes in earnings for SSDI recipients on the SSA website.

Impact of inflation on SGA Levels

Inflation can erode the purchasing power of individuals, including those receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). As the cost of living rises, the Social Security Administration (SSA) adjusts the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) levels to ensure that individuals with disabilities maintain access to essential resources.

What is SGA?

SGA refers to the amount of income that an individual with a disability can earn from work while still receiving SSDI benefits. The SSA sets different SGA levels for blind individuals and non-blind individuals each year.

Impact of Inflation on SGA Levels

Inflation can impact SGA levels in several ways:

  • Increased cost of living: As the cost of living increases, the SSA may raise SGA levels to ensure that individuals with disabilities can afford essential expenses.
  • Erosion of purchasing power: If SGA levels do not keep pace with inflation, individuals with disabilities may experience a decline in their purchasing power, making it more difficult to cover basic needs.
  • Access to benefits: Individuals who earn above the SGA level may lose their SSDI benefits, which can have a significant impact on their financial stability.

SSA Adjustments to SGA Levels

To mitigate the impact of inflation, the SSA typically adjusts SGA levels annually. These adjustments are based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W measures the change in the average price of a basket of goods and services purchased by urban wage earners and clerical workers.

2025 SGA Levels

The SSA has not yet announced the official SGA levels for 2025. However, based on historical trends and the current rate of inflation, it is likely that the SGA levels will increase in 2025.

Year Non-Blind SGA Level Blind SGA Level
2022 $1,350 $2,260
2023 $1,470 $2,460
2024 $1,570 $2,640
2025* $1,690 (estimated) $2,830 (estimated)

*Estimated based on CPI-W projections.

SGA and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes). The program provides monthly cash payments to aged, blind, and disabled people who have little or no income or resources. SSI is administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

In order to be eligible for SSI, you must meet certain income and resource requirements. For 2023, the SSI income limit is $1,913 per month for individuals and $2,827 per month for couples. The SSI resource limit is $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples. Income and resources are counted differently under SSI than under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Counting Income

Under SSI, income is counted differently than under SSDI. Some types of income that are not counted under SSDI are counted under SSI. For example, SSI counts unearned income, such as Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income benefits, and veterans benefits. SSI also counts earned income, such as wages, self-employment income, and tips. However, SSI does not count all of your earned income. Only the amount of your earned income that is above the SGA level is counted.

Counting Resources

SSI also counts resources differently than SSDI. Resources are things that you own, such as cash, stocks, bonds, and real estate. SSI counts all of your resources, except for certain things that are excluded. For example, SSI does not count your home, your car, and your personal belongings. SSI also does not count resources that you use to produce income, such as tools and equipment.

SGA Income Limits

The SGA income limit is the amount of income that you can earn and still be eligible for SSI. The SGA income limit is different for individuals and couples. For 2023, the SGA income limit is $1,913 per month for individuals and $2,827 per month for couples.

If you earn more than the SGA income limit, you will not be eligible for SSI. However, you may still be eligible for other Social Security benefits, such as SSDI.

Impact of Work on SSI Benefits

If you are receiving SSI benefits and you start working, your benefits may be reduced or stopped. This is because SSI benefits are based on your income and resources. If you earn more money, your SSI benefits will be reduced. If you earn more than the SGA income limit, your SSI benefits will be stopped.

However, there are some ways to work and still receive SSI benefits. For example, you may be able to participate in a work incentive program.

SGA Income Limits
2023 $1,913
2024 $2,190
2025 $2,460
