Full-time Employment
For many, part-time work is not an easy option because of the difficulty in coming off benefits and into work. If you are returning to full-time work after a period of illness ask yourself what were the stressors that caused your mental illness. If any of these were work related try to reduce them. For some people a change of role or job would be advisable.
Starting work may affect your right to Social Security and/or Medicaid benefits or the amount you get. The benefits system is very complex and this presents only a brief summary of how you may be affected if you choose to start work. If you are on benefits you should contact your Department of Human Services worker to calculate if you will be better or worse off.
