For students receiving SSDI, there is a special provision known as the Student Earned-Income Exclusion (SEIE), which allows them to exclude a certain amount of earned income from being counted toward the SSDI eligibility calculation. This exclusion helps students with disabilities who work while attending school to maintain their eligibility for SSDI benefits without their earnings interfering with their benefits calculations.
Understanding the Student Earned-Income Exclusion is important because it helps students with disabilities work and study without jeopardizing their SSDI benefits.
