1. Intro

Many people are on disability. This is a reality that most never faced. Income from investments such as stocks, bonds or real estate does not count towards the limitation if it was earned over 5 years prior to filing for disability or have been paid out as a benefit in the last 2 years prior to filing for disability. The limitation also applies to a spouse and dependent children who received monthly Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments during the same period of time as the investment income was earned (this includes those who receive SSDI payments while they are disabled).

2. The Importance of Dividends and Capital Gains for People on Disability

Dividends and capital gains from stocks are “unearned income,” but they should be considered as a form of earned income. They are an important source of retirement income for people on disability. It is also important to note that the disability benefits received by disabled workers may not be fully applied against the work-related expenses you incur. Since you earned your disability benefits through hard work, these expenses may not be deducted from your total disability benefits. This means that when you invest in stocks or other stocks-based mutual funds, you will have a higher amount of money available for other forms of retirement income such as pensions and Social Security payments. Because people with disabilities typically perform less than their able-bodied peers, they often need to make more sacrifices to support themselves; this includes more expensive cars and insurance. However, it is possible to increase the amount of money available for retirement by investing in stocks and other stocks-based mutual funds while on disability.

3. How to Invest When You Are on Disability Income

Most people who are on disability income do not have the ability to participate in investments. It is the common belief among disabled people that the only way to make enough money to survive is through investments. This is wrong. It is also a waste of time and energy to spend money on investments when you are on disability income. We believe that it is more important for disabled people to spend their time in other activities. However, investing for the future cannot be replaced by any other activity or hobby because investing takes a certain amount of financial knowledge and skill that most people are not willing or able to acquire. Our advice when you are on disability income should be to focus on basic things like food budget, paying bills, getting enough medicine, etc., instead of trying to invest in stocks or any kind of financial instruments. It just doesn’t work out well with disability income because you can’t earn more than your current monthly expenses, which means that even if you had invested all your money and saved it up, you would have nothing left at the end of the month since there is no more money coming in from investments. We hope this article will help you understand how important investing can be if you are on disabled income as well as help avoid making some costly mistakes when you are trying to invest for the future .
