Purely hypothetical answer to your purely hypothetical question....
There are a number of ways they can find out. Taxes are one.
You'd have to pay back the money, not just stop getting disability. Might also get fined.

they find out because you job turns in your social security number for taxes. penalty could be jail time and restitution which meens they might make you pay back EVERYTHING they ever gave you including the legit money. It's not worth it. You will never be able to get help again ever.

They'll know as soon as your employer pays his payroll taxes. You'd risk losing your SSI and could be prosecuted for fraud.
Depending upon your situation, you MAY be able to earn a limited amount of outside income. Your local SS office can provide you guidance on that.
