What happens if I go to jail while receiving disability benefits? Do I lose my Disability benefits?
The Social Security Administration does not give benefits to an individual who is incarcerated even if they are disabled. If you are receiving benefits and become incarcerated, the SSA will take away your benefits once you have been in jail for more than one month. However, if you’ll be incarcerated for less than a month, the SSA will not take away your benefits and they will continue as normal
What do I need to tell Social Security?
You must tell the SSA if you have an outstanding arrest warrant for any of the following felony offenses:
• Flight to avoid prosecution or confinement;
• Escape from custody; and
• Flight-escape.
You can’t receive regular disability benefits, or any underpayments you may be due, for any month in which there is an outstanding arrest warrant for any of these felony offenses.
Tell Social Security right away if you’re convicted of a crime. Regular disability benefits, or any underpayments, that may be due aren’t paid for the months a person is 12 confined for a crime, but any family members who are eligible for benefits based on that person’s work may continue to receive benefits.
Monthly benefits, or any underpayments that may be due, are usually not paid to someone who commits a crime and is confined to an institution by court order and at public expense. This applies if the person has been found:
• Not guilty by reason of insanity or similar factors (such as mental disease, mental defect, or mental incompetence); or
• Incompetent to stand trial.
You must tell SSA if you’re violating a condition of your probation or parole imposed under federal or state law. You can’t receive regular disability benefits or any underpayment that may be due for any month in which you violate a condition of your probation or parole.
