Hello friends hope you are doing great, I'm sending you all the loving positive thoughts and energy!

So I've looked up the gist on how much you can make on SSI (Supplemental Security Income) but don't really think I quite 100% understand, so I was hoping someone could help clarify it for me.

From my understanding, can you have a total of (I don't remember the exact figures so roughly) roughly ~$1,500 a month, including the $842 max SSI payment amount? So basically you can earn very roughly around $700 from a job/source of income, and still receive the $842? Or did I not understand it correctly?
