i'd like to know if i am entitled to work, how many hours before benefits are affected?

are you currently receiving SSDI or have you just applied? keep in mind that whether you are receiving benefits, or are applying for benefits you are telling Social Security you are disabled and unable to work.

I would suggest you contact SS, or go to their site as they have very specific rules about working while on disability. Yes, you can work, but only so much....It depends on when you worked, how much you worked, and how often. There is a brochure on the topic as well that explains everything. You need to get the exact details whereas not to adversely affect your benefits.

Hope this helps.
