Lets Purple Heart recipients keep Social Security disability benefits while working, with an earnings offset.
This bill would let veterans who received a Purple Heart continue to get Social Security disability benefits even if they earn some money from working. Currently, these benefits can stop if a person earns too much. The bill would also apply a higher earnings limit for these veterans, similar to what blind individuals currently have.
Currently, Social Security disability benefits stop if a person earns too much from working, and there are no special rules for Purple Heart recipients. This bill would let Purple Heart recipients whose disability is from their injury keep their benefits even if they work, though their benefits would be reduced by $1 for every $4 they earn above a certain amount. They would also get a higher earnings limit before any reductions begin.
