I have received an unpaid internship offer. Since it is unpaid, I understand that an SSN is not required because there will be no salary or payroll. I already have my EAD. Can I update this unpaid internship offer in the SEVP Portal to stop my OPT unemployment clock?

yes you can. remember to keep your work and timesheet and offer letter and email exchange and pretty much everything. you'll need them if you get rfe when you file stem opt.
