Social Security payments may be stopped if recipients no longer meet eligibility criteria, such as failing to meet age or work history requirements.
Some Americans may experience payment stoppages if overpayments are discovered, requiring repayment or adjustments in future benefits.
For certain Social Security recipients, an increase in income (such as from a job or pension) could impact their benefit eligibility or lead to a reduction in payments.
Beneficiaries who fail to update the Social Security Administration (SSA) with important life changes, such as a change in address or marital status, could see a halt in payments.
Payments will be stopped immediately when the recipient passes away, and it’s essential for family members to report the death to the SSA promptly.
If fraud or misrepresentation of information is detected, the SSA may stop payments and initiate investigations, potentially leading to legal consequences.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments may be suspended if a periodic review finds that a recipient no longer qualifies due to improved health or ability to work.
