House parents income adjustments to avoid social security penalty.

Question

My husband and I are thinking about getting jobs as house parents but my husband is only allowed to make about 13,000 a year or he gets penalized with his social security. Because house parents make a collective salary, say 40k a year per couple- 20k each per year- would it be legal to have my salary adjusted higher and his salary adjusted lower to stay under the income limit and thus, avoid the penalty?

Answer 1

Fraud is rarely legal, I doubt you would be able to convince anyone to do that for you.
