Social Security Recipients: Key Steps to Avoid Payment Suspension
Important requirements for Social Security beneficiaries to continue receiving payments without interruption.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has urged beneficiaries to ensure their personal information is up-to-date to avoid any disruption in payments. Payments may be suspended immediately under the following circumstances: failure to attend mandatory medical reviews for SSDI cases, unreported death of a beneficiary, or misuse of funds by a legal representative. Beneficiaries must report all income, as earning beyond specified caps can lead to benefit suspension. Retirees who take on part-time work must inform the SSA to avoid issues. The SSA also conducts residency checks; inconsistencies may halt payments until resolved. For concerns, beneficiaries should contact the SSA via helpline or visit a local office. Additionally, those born in 1959 will reach their Full Retirement Age of 66 years and 10 months this year, as per the 1983 Social Security Act amendments, allowing them to collect full retirement benefits.
