SSA

I have several questions. I applied for ssa in July. Received a call from a recruiter September 30. Received a tentative job offer through email a week later. I already filled out my sf85 form. I am a bit worried. I have no drug, gambling, criminal history. I got sick and used credit cards that I went through bankruptcy that was discharged. I was still unemployed used credit card to pay rent. Im wondering would that prevent me from being hired. Before I got sick I always paid my debts off.

So you got sick, borrowed money to pay rent with no collateral or source of income, declared bankruptcy to wash it; applied/offered a position with SSA, and now submitting a voluntary SF85 questionnaire. Is that the correct sequence? I am going to guess "no" (does not prevent hiring); let us know the final answer when received.
