#4 Higher Disability Income Limits in 2027
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) sets strict monthly earnings caps known as Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) limits. In 2027, the monthly SGA limit increases from $1,690 to $1,770 for non-blind beneficiaries, and from $2,830 to $2,950 for blind beneficiaries.
For beneficiaries testing their ability to return to work during a Trial Work Period (TWP), the monthly earnings threshold that counts as a trial service month will rise from $1,210 in 2026 to $1,270 in 2027.
If you work while receiving SSDI, tracking your monthly pay carefully ensures you stay within the updated 2027 limits and protect your ongoing eligibility.
