How do I go about voluntarily stopping SSI benefits?

I am only 20 and on SSI. I have only been receiving benefits for less than a year. I'm still disabled, but I have grown a large following on social media, and may be able to monetize my platforms in the near future. This is what I would consider to be a job that accommodates my disability, not meaning I am no longer disabled. Is there any way to voluntarily withdraw SSI benefits without having to pay all of the money back to social security? And whether I need to pay it back or not, how do I stop receiving benefits in the best way possible for me?

Can I set up a trust with my partner that allows me access to money but will not invalidate my social security disability?

My partner and I (not married) want to find a way to set up a trust that will allow me to continue living in our home and pay the mortgage but will not cause me to lose my social security disability or MediCal. He has a life insurance policy with me as the beneficiary but it wouldn't pay off the house and his debt completely and that lump sum would take away all my benefits, as I understand it, for at least 2-3 years. (my name isn't on the deed or mortgage to the house)

Will I lose my sSI/SSDI benefits altogether?

I'm 29 years old and legally blind. I've been living and working in a sheltered workshop in MO for 4.5 years now (making $1200-1600)/ month. Before moving to MO I was in AR. I've been receiving SSI since I was a kid. I just found out my parents never notified AR of my move or employment. Will I lose my check altogether or will SSA just deduct $ each month until I owe nothing. Also do I qualify for SSDI yet?
