I get SSI and want to know the limits of money I can earn.
I have someone wanting me to sell him a couple of paintings for about $850 but he had someone else send me a check for one thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars. He wants me to launder the rest of the money to give to his shipping agent. Possibly fedX. I had to say no, but then my sister tells me I can earn up to 1220 per month while on Disability SSI. And that I could have over $2k in my bank. I would have no proof that I kept more than 850 form that 1850 check. So I still think I cannot do it without getting in trouble with the welfare dept. what is the amount that I can earn and not have it affect the amount of money I get from SSI? And do I have to report it?
This may not be illegal laundering of his money. I think he is still "off shore". But I do not know him, he contacted me by email to buy my paintings for his wedding anniversary.
