yes....BUT, i DO know someone in my family circle so to speak, that IS on SSI..she gets a monthly check, and she's on her own, at an apartment building for such people, as well as total disabled and regular SS people.

if she gets a job (and she has), she HAS to report that to SS and her apartment manager RAISES her rent.

she also loses some of her food allowance for SSI as well.

then, SSI deducts what she earns at her job(s), and pays her the balance of her SSI monthly income.

people on SSDI, can be on that till (i think) 65, maybe 66, then they automatically go onto "regular SS", at the same amount they are getting on SSDI, and they CAN go to work if they want to, and SS cannot say anything.

I think the age is 70-72, that you can earn as much as you want without penalty.

Full retirement age for me is age 66 and 2 months.

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 would like to know what kind of driving work you can do if I'm receiving an ssi check... would being a school bus relief driver be out of the question? Or would I be limited to work that pays cash? Any help would be appreciated... thank you

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.

I don't know what's sadder .... The OP trying to game the system or the person who spends enough time on TTR to know the posting habits of other members.

Are you including the staff in the latter part of that statement?
