It's the same cost, a little more actually, but has 15,000 people…See More

Katherine Weaver replied to Katherine Weaver's discussion How do royalties effect Social Security Disability?"Thank you both so much for your time, that's what I thought would be the case, but was hoping for something different.

Lee Smith, ND replied to Katherine Weaver's discussion How do royalties effect Social Security Disability?"Social Security has no test for occupation, so as Dan already mentioned the income is tested as Ordinary Income based on a dollar amount annually. Once you exceed the limit, you're in danger of losing the SS checks or getting a reduced…"
Dan Miller replied to Katherine Weaver's discussion How do royalties effect Social Security Disability?"Book royalties are the same as ordinary income. So whatever limits you have that would reduce you disability are the same with royalties. Just as if you were working a job or doing freelance work as a bookkeeper. Hopefully you'll get so much…"

Hello Katherine,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, it sounds like you are interested in writing. If so, consider joining the Write It Forward. There are some great discussions going on that will likely be very profitable for you.
Plus, you might want to check out Speak It Forward as well. It's another group I'm involved with that has a lot of activity taking place.
Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian
