Records for SGA And Part-Time Work
- pay stubs or self-employment records
- SSA work-reporting notices and receipts
- job duties, hours and accommodations
- benefit notices showing any work-related payment change
Questions to prepare
- Is this an initial eligibility question or work after entitlement?

- What proof shows that work was reported?
Official starting points
Before taking the next step
Use the exact SSA notice and current appeal or benefit status. A general page about sga and part-time work cannot determine eligibility or predict an outcome, and it should not replace an official filing instruction.
