- [Substantial Gainful Activity](https://www.brennangottlaw.com/substantial-gainful-activity/): Generally speaking, you cannot work while at the same time apply for social Securitydisability (SSD). Social Security calls work "substantial gainful activity" (SGA) which isdefined, for 2023, as grossing more than $1,470.00 a month. For 2022, the amount was$1,350.00, and is adjusted upward annually for a cost-of-living adjustment(COLA.) Note thatSGA is computed on gross earnings (before taxes are deducted), and not take-home or net pay.The reason SGA is such a small amount is that SSD is an all or nothing proposition: either onecan work, or one is disabled and cannot work. Therefore, if you are working but your grossearnings are below the SGA amount, you can apply for disability.

- [Municipal Worker](https://www.brennangottlaw.com/municipal-worker/): We have discovered that old trends die hard. For example, many municipal entities, such as cities, counties, school districts and county own hospitals, decided in the 1980's that they would "self-insure" their health insurance plans. These municipal entities would use the premium payments of their employees to put into a pot that would pay the medical expenses of the employees. An insurance company would oversee the plan and pay the medical expense allowed under the plan.
