text: is there any legal way you can supplement your income when receiving social security disability? i am currently receiving social security disability, and the dollar doesn't as far as it used to. every state seems to be different.. i would strongly suggest that you visit your local social security office and ask them directly. i do know that, in general, when you make so much (extra income), there is a limit at which time they start reducing your social sescurity disability check..... actually, not only the social security disability but just regular social security check.
