I actually don't think the IOP volunteer coordinator would even have the right to ask me if I am on disability. Do you? If she did, I wonder what I should say.
I believe the volunteering would be no more than 3 hours per week. That's what it was when I attempted to volunteer at the general hospital years back, which is coordinated by the same people.

I cover my bases this way because I have been repeatedly investigated, especially the first 10 years of my claim. I have been investigated since. This isn't paranoia. I've had neighbors interviewed, have had investigators sitting outside of my home, etc. (I have called the police and they arrive and the police end up telling me it is an investigator sitting out there, etc. My H has also gone out and has asked them who they are and what they want? Other people have confirmed these incidents for me.)
This is why I have certain activities written into my treatment plan(s).
I do not tell SSA about my activities, per se; yet, if they happen to look into my activities, I am covered by my treatment plan.
The IOP center is not likely to report you.
You don't have an obligation to tell the IOP about your disability.
I hope this venture works out well for you.
