It sounds like you are receiving disability bases on a deceased person's earnings and contribution to Social Security (survivor's disability) rather than disability benefits based on your own earnings and contribution to Social Security (”regular” disability).

Since I cannot offer legal advice through this site, I can't answer your question about whether you can work any differently than what this article already says.

If an individual's work is a Substantial Gainful Activity (for 2009, $980 per month before any deductions), Social Security may decide that they are no longer disabled and stop their benefits. This article discusses that topic and some of the other problems that can come up EVEN IF the work is not a SGA.

Here is a related article that may explain this better: http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2008/11/sh...

I want to know the difference, if any in survivors disability, and disability. Is it legal for me to work from home for extra income, and if so what is the limit I can earn?
