If you demonstrate that you are employable, either by yourself or
others, then you no longer will qualify for SSI.  I *think* that maybe
you have a five month trail period.

Your best bet is to call Social Security and asked your questions
using a fake name.  Then decide what to do.  It is unfortunate but
many handicapped individuals settle for earning a living by getting
paid under the table.
