SUMMARY:Small Business Webinar: SSDI and SSI and Self-Employment (Two-Part Event)
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of SSDI in March and SSI in April and how to pursue self-employment. This two-part series is presented by experts from Cornell University. Recordings will be available after each event. \nApril 15\, 2026: SSI and Self-Employment \nSSI is a very complex program. Categorical eligibility\, resource eligibility and income reporting can all be overwhelming for you (or your recipient). How does work impact benefits?  \nThis session will take you through the disability and financial eligibility criteria and follow up with the significant work incentives allowed by the SSI program. You will learn how benefits planning can be very effective when an SSI recipient becomes interested in work or has begun working.  \nAt this event\, you will learn:  \n\nAbout the “welfare” nature of the SSI program. \n\n\nHow to calculate an SSI payment. \n\n\nHow work incentives can protect cash payments. \n\n\nWatch the Zoom Shared Screen Recording \nWatch the Webinar on YouTube (coming soon) \nDownload the Webinar Transcript \nDownload the presentation slides \nMarch 18\, 2026: SSDI and Self-Employment \nIf you receive (or work with recipients of) SSDI benefits\, did you know there are work incentives if you are interested in\, or begin to\, work?  \nThis session will take you through the basics of SSDI eligibility and all available work incentives\, such as:  \n\nthe Trial Work Period\,  \n\n\nthe Re-Entitlement Period\,  \n\n\nImpairment Related Work Expenses (IRWEs) and  \n\n\nSubsidies and Special Conditions. \n\nHave you (or your recipient) performed Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) in a month? Are you sure? Using the work incentives we can reduce “gross wages” to “countable wages” and find that you remain eligible for a cash SSDI payment.  \nAt this event\, you will learn:  \n\nAbout the disability standard of the SSDI program. \n\n\nHow to determine if your recipient’s wages are really SGA. \n\n\nAbout the progressive work incentives of the SSDI program. \n\nFor VR and other professionals: this series will be a great “primer” for the upcoming Self-Employment training that will be offered in June 2026.  \nThe contents of this webinar were developed under grant H421F240198 from the U.S. Department of Education (Department).
