Amazon Vine impact on disability benefits

I am a disabled senior, age 63. I currently receive both SSDI (widow benefits) and SSI. I currently pay no taxes, as I don't make enough on disability to have to.
I was recently invited to join Amazon Vine product testing program, and I'm curious how participation in that will affect my need to pay taxes, and my eligibility to receive benefits.

Thanks,

That’s self employment income subject to 15.3% self employment tax. Whether it impacts your other income benefits depends on how much you make.
