Is working, while applying for disability and SS fraud if he put he was unemployed?

So my friend applied for disability and SS because he lost his job and scholarship for school because he had a heart attack at 21. So we was hospitalized a couple times while waiting because of his heart condition. He doesn’t have health insurance and this was the main reason why he applied for SS. So he decided to get an under the table job at a commission based telemarketing office because his bills were adding up. 4 months later he hears that he is eligible for SS but denied disability. He also realizes that his boss filed a tax form on him based on the money he was making. So when he applied for disability he was unemployed but because SS was taking so long and the bills were adding up, he felt he had to get some sort of job to pay them. So would it be considered fraud since when he applied he said he was unemployed but currently employed now? He hasn’t received any money from SS yet but will he still be in trouble for being employed while waiting? Is there a way that he can still receive SS benefits if he quits his job?
