The rules regarding work activity are the same for low income SSDI recipients as well as high income SSDI recipients. So no, the amount of your SSDI check does not affect how much you can earn.
And you are supposed to report or 'bother' SSA when you go to work since you are getting paid as a person who is unable to work. And you will need to submit your pay stubs to SSA, monthly is preferable. SSA needs to know what you are making and when in order to apply the work incentives.
The point of work incentives is to encourage you to return to work for a period of time to see if you are again able to be gainfully employed and no longer in need of SSDI. The point of work incentives is not to help you be able to hold a job AND get SSDI indefinitely.
