    If you are on SSID, it automatically converts to regular SS the month you reach you full retirement age. From the month you reach your normal full retirement age, was 66 for me, you can make as much money as you can with no penalty from SS. I have toyed with the idea of going back to work. I've been offered part time driving jobs a couple times but their idea of part time and mine didn't come close to being the same.

    What sucks about part time is the slip seating. I have done the 7 on 7 off but getting all my stuff in and out of the truck each week is a bummer, and sometimes there was no truck avalable.

    Rural farm work; some get paid in cash. The ones I knew, didn’t want to lose their govt healthcare.

    Migrant work and small farms can be labor intensive; I don’t know much about animal farms.

    Row crop farming relies on equipment though; sometimes very large equipment. Just need to be able to run a straight line across a field and more farmers are adding auto steer to their tractors. Near the end, all I really had to do was lift the implements for obstacles and get it turned around.

    I wasn’t working for cash; but I had a bit of trouble establishing my work history after quitting the family farm. One of the truck companies I applied to passed because of it.

    Probably something on a moped as long as you wear a helmet.

    I qualify for SSI in every regard but one. I make too much money EVEN though I am disabled and have been for a few years now. The SSI payment is income-related. SSI last I heard had a top amount PRE state additional amount of around $700. Then they deduct based on a formula from this based on the income. If you make more money that SSI payment will shrink and will be cut totally if you make enough to offset that entire $700 amount. I suggest HIGHLY you ask this question directly to the Federal Office that handles SSI.
