what are the rules of working while on ssi?

[Brovane]

After 65 dollars they take $1 for every $2 earned. That's some bullchit

Can you pickup odd jobs on Craiglist Gigs and just take cash as payment?

I think that's what they call getting paid under the table.

SSI is about reducing the labor pool, getting older people to retire and open up jobs. Period.

Its funded by mandatory deductions from earnings, almost nobody that works gets back inflation adjusted let alone investment equivalent amount of money. If you work, you get even less back. Same as the welfare system its designed to prevent segments of the public from working, lowering the demand for jobs.

I really think you shoulld get a job for everyones benefit. The way I see it if you actually did some work you might be around here a little less making threads blatantly designed to wind people up.

either that, or entropy

My uncle has schizophrenia and he gives speeches twice a week to the medical community about his history/conditions etc. I think they pay him under the table. That's how you do it OP.

This is usually done for free (I know someone who gives presentations on narcolepsy). Even supposing he can manage to get paid, I doubt it's livable income without assistance like SSI.

entropy works too slowly in many cases...
