What is the SGA limit for a person who is blind according to Title II?

The SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) limit for individuals who are blind under Title II is set at 2100. This limit is stipulated by the Social Security Administration to determine eligibility for benefits. For individuals who are blind, a higher income threshold is established to acknowledge the additional challenges they may face in the workforce. Setting the SGA limit at 2100 allows these individuals some leeway in earning a sustainable income while still qualifying for Social Security benefits.

In contrast, for individuals who are not blind, the SGA limit is generally lower. Therefore, the determination of 2100 as the limit for those who are blind reflects an understanding of the different barriers faced in employment. This threshold is adjusted periodically to account for inflation and other economic factors, but as of the current understanding up to October 2023, the limit remains 2100 for blind individuals.
