Work related expenses for SSDI

Wed, 05/24/2017 - 16:13
I am currently working and SSDI has asked if there are any work related expenses that will qualify me to continue to get benefits. I currently work 28 hours at 10.00 an hour that puts me over the amount that I am allowed. They went back several years and I received a letter saying they over paid me for different months. The letter said that they would not receive any payments until November to recollect the over-payment. Than, I got a letter saying I was no longer eligible for benefits and lost my Medicare and owe the amount of money they were going to deduct each month from my benefits. At the same time I am getting another letter saying that if they don't receive a payment for my medicare premium I would lose it. I contacted the case worker and she said to give her any work related expenses I could. I reduced my hours 40 to 28 due to more seizures. I have a small amount that I can deduct for medications I paid for during those months. I am really confused.
