My experience has been with a job I had last year.
You are allowed approximately $60/month (call the 800 number and ask
for the exact figure - you don't have to give your name). After that
for every $2.00 you make SS takes $1.00. So if you are getting
$300/month you can make $600.00 (after the initial $60.00) and that
will cancel out your SSI check.
They do their calculations on the GROSS amount you make NOT the NET
amount of take home... That means that they get paid twice. Once when
you give the withholding for Soc. Sec. and then when they figure your
gross income.
I found that between SS wanting their money and city housing wanting
theirs (also calculated on the gross amount) I was working to pay them
and had ZERO for myself. I can't tell you what to do but a good name
for a business is "The Under The Table, Corp." and a good motto -
"We deal in CASH only"......But then again, what do I know.
(If you do forget the business be careful of the consequences if
caught). But then again if you are just helping a couple of buddies
out and they happen to drop a little cash your way who's gonna prove it
was for services rendered and not a repayment of a loan or something?

GOIN' FOR THE GOLD!
