Your client gets a job. Three agencies now count her income, each by different rules, with
different deadlines and different penalties. None of them will tell her what the others require,
and the person coordinating all three is probably an independent-living worker with no training in any of it.

This session follows one client through the four points at which newly earned income creates exposure, using an actual case file: what she reported, what the agency did with it, the
overpayment notice that followed, and what it cost to unwind.

You will leave knowing why substantial gainful activity does not end Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for an established recipient; when the same paycheck ends a Title II benefit; why the most common housing error is overreporting rather than underreporting; how a trial work period runs silently in the background with no notice to anyone; how to use impairment-related work expenses (IRWEs) to shelter income; and where fee opportunities exist for counsel and professional fiduciaries, including which capacities require Social Security Administration (SSA) approval.

Materials include a side-by-side comparison of SSA, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Medicaid rules; a reporting-trigger matrix; a first job protocol; and a working calculator that tells you what the SSI check should be before the notice arrives.
