It's hard to know what decision that your prospective employer will make, based on you being transparent about your SSI. I think employers are required to offer 10 hours a week per the legislation? There isn't a cap on the weekly amount of hours. However, there is cap on the weekly income you can earn with your employer, is my understanding.

How Many Hours Can You Work On SSI? | Disability Help

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) helps low-income individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled. Unlike the SSDI, the SSI allows claimants to work. In order to understand how many hours you can work while on SSI, let's first talk about what the program is about and what an SGA is.

What Is Supplementary Security Income (SSI)?
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), SSI is paid to disabled individuals who earn little or no money. There are strict financial requirements to qualify for SSI, but eligibility is not determined by employment history. There is no cap on the number of hours you can work on SSI; rather, there is a cap on the amount of money you can earn in a month.

To register in 2022, you must earn less than $841 in monthly taxable income and have fewer than $2,000 in assets. The limit is $3,000 for a couple. The distinction between SSI and SSDI is that SSI claimants are encouraged to work as much as possible. Because only about half of your income is counted toward the Social Security Administration's income totals, the $794 monthly limit is frequently closer to $1,500.

Your monthly payment is determined by your income. If your income reduces while you are receiving SSI, your benefits may be raised to the $841 maximum. Your payments will reduce as your income improves.

Even if your income exceeds the amount required to qualify for SSI, you may still be able to retain your Medicaid. Additionally, if you have significantly high medical bills, you can apply to purchase Medicaid from the state's Medicare organization.
