Re: ssi question
Report everything to SSI. It saves you hassles in the long run. You may want to see if there is an asset you can own (e.g., a car) that you can buy with this to keep the SSI from being suspended.
Be reminded that SSI is a need-based program. To use the now politically incorrect noun, it is -welfare-. You are obligated to use your assets to support yourself before the government has to pay you money.
