As far it be considered work. From my understanding. School is not a job. You have to be a substantially gainfully employed. Some part time job are not substantial.

You do not have to be SGA, you only have to be capable of SGA.
Big difference. And here's the link to what the SSA considers SGA, a part time job can be considered SGA. And someone making $700 or $800 a month can still be found capable of SGA even if they stay under the $1000 threshold. This is why some attorneys advise their clients to never work any hours or get training. It's a personal decision...

And Financial Aid doesn't need to be reported I was wrong because it isn't considered income:Exempt "Amounts for tuition and fees paid from grants, scholarships and fellowships and gifts for educational expenses"
