Whats the hourly rate allowed or what is the allowed max earning you can take home without effecting your status.

The following is excerpted from an SSA document titled, "Working While Disabled—How We Can Help" :

Trial work period—The trial work period allows you to test your ability to work for at least nine months. During your trial work period, you will receive your full Social Security benefits regardless of how much you are earning as long as you report your work activity and you continue to have a disabling impairment. In 2013, a trial work month is any month in which your total earnings are over $750, or if you are self-employed, you earn more than $750 (after expenses) or work more than 80 hours in your own business. The trial work period continues until you have worked nine months within a 60-month period.

Extended period of eligibility—After your trial work period, you have 36 months during which you can work and still receive benefits for any month your earnings are not “substantial.” In 2013, we generally consider earnings over $1,040 ($1,740 if you are blind) to be substantial. No new application or disability decision is needed for you to receive a Social Security disability benefit during this period.
