ive been offered a part time job at a women's shelter. I had done some volunteer work up there this past summer. The hrs. will be 16 a week. I know im ok with working according to social security, BUT do you know if they will frown on me because the 2 days I will be working are 8 hr. shifts. BUT, this place is awesome, is low keyed and they have a couch, tv area for the office workers and even a bedroom and I would be allowed to rest and even lay down if needed. Im a little scared of it being 8 hrs. but i want to give it a try. Somebody told me social security would not like a person working an 8 hr. shift because then they would think you could work.....??? whats your thoughts? Should I call social security and aske them but explain to them that i have a bed to lay down on due to my fatiuge.
I would say do it, if you can.
I don't think that social security would have the time to look into when exactly you put in your hours, as long as they know that you are working only 16 hours a week and making less than the amount they allow monthly ($950 or so).
Good luck.
