What is the maximum amount one can earn while on SSDI? [View all]

I'm having trouble finding anything on how much I can earn at a part time job before it affects my SSDI. Right now I work 15 hours a week and that doesn't affect disability, but it would be nice to know what the cutoff is if I can work more.

One thing I found when I researched this weeks ago is that $1040 a month is threshold amount where earnings are considered substantial. (My monthly earnings are way below that.)

Any help, or links where I can research it myself would be appreciated.
