www.socialsecurity.gov/PDO | Pension Disability Offset

The Pension Disability Offset applies if you are receiving a disability pension from non-covered employment at the same time you are receiving a SS disability benefit. The two combined benefits cannot exceed 80% of average monthly earnings based on Social Security covered earnings.For example, if your average, pre-disability, social security covered wages were $3000, your combined disability payments cannot exceed $2400 before the SS disability is reduced.Exceptions to this are disability received from VA, disability from SS covered employment, private disability insurance, or SSI.For complete information on PDO go to http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10018.html .
