DESCRIPTION:Overview: 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.\nWebinar Series Part 2 of 2 \nDate and Time: Wednesday, April 15, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM Eastern Time | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Central Time\nApril 15, 2026: SSI and Self-Employment\nRegister for the April 15 Webinar ( https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aB4f9FVxRbW7vBhAIvc--g#/registration )\nDescription: SSI 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.\nHow to calculate an SSI payment.\nHow work incentives can protect cash payments.\n\nWebinar Series Part 1 of 2\nMarch 18, 2026: SSDI and Self-Employment\n[Note: This webinar was held on March 18, 2026. Archived webinar available here ( https://www.disabilitysmallbusiness.org/event/small-business-webinar-ssdi-and-ssi-and-self-employment-two-part-event/ ).]\nDescription: If 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,\nthe Re-Entitlement Period,\nImpairment Related Work Expenses (IRWEs) and\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.\nHow to determine if your recipient’s wages are really SGA.\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.\nASL Interpretation and Captioning will be provided.
