SSDI or dual SSDI/SSI beneficiaries:

Select AATakeCharge Milestone LLC (milestone-outcome method) if:

1. You expect your earnings to be more than $720 per month, but not enough to exceed Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) which is $1,000 per month in 2011 if you have a general disability, and $1,640 if you are blind.
2. You do expect to earn a little more than SGA ($1,000/month for general, $1,640 /month for blind), but plan on remaining on benefits indefinitely by using Impairment Related Work Expenses or Work Subsidies.
3. You do expect your benefits to be terminated due to your earnings once your trial work months over, but you still have at least 2 more trial work months to go and you want your payments from TakeCharge to start as soon as possible.

All others on SSDI or both SSDI/SSI should select AAATakeCharge which uses the outcome-only method of payment. Outcome-only payments cannot start until your SSA benefit checks stop. And outcome-only payments will stop if your earnings dip below $1,000 per month. However, outcome-only payments will yield about 10% more than milestone-outcome payments over the course of three years.

SSI Recipients:

Select AATakeCharge Milestone, LLC (milestone-outcome method of payment) if:

1. You expect to earn over $720 per month but not enough to reduce your SSI check to zero.

All others receiving SSI checks only should select AAATakeCharge. You will receive about 10% more under the outcome&emdash;only payment method over the course of 5 years.
