So if a person earned $265, that could mean they worked anywhere from 132.5 hours (when minimum wage is $2/hr) or 36.5 hours if the minimum wage is the federal standard ($7.25/hr). It all depends on where a person lives. But someone who is receiving SSI could still earn $165 a month which would add to the SSI benefit to total $839. Or, if a person is receiving SSI but is not able to go work outside of the home, he or she could work from home, doing things for income such as caring for a child, editing papers for college students (or typing them, if a student is unable to do so), or making and selling jewelry or other homemade items online. Unless I am missing something here, that is what it looks like to me. Edit: Actually, usually SSI doesn't count beyond $85, not $65. Quote:
