International Student Signing Bonus?

Hello fellow monkeys,

Currently an F-1 Visa student and recently accepted an offer to join a MM bank. Am I legally allowed to accept the signing bonus even though my OPT will not start until next June? Can anyone provide insight into when I can accept it?

Thanks!
