Say goodbye to Social Security disability payments in March for all beneficiaries who do not meet this SSA requirement - avoid suspension of payments   

March 17, 2025

To avoid suspension of benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries must not engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) that exceeds the allowed earnings limit.  

Work Activity

Beneficiaries must undergo periodic medical reviews to determine if they still meet the SSA’s definition of disability. 

Medical Review

Beneficiaries are required to report any earned income or changes in income to the SSA. 

Report Income

 If you do not respond to requests from the SSA for information or documentation, such as follow-up medical exams or forms, your disability payments could be interrupted. 

SSA Requests

 Non-citizens receiving disability payments must maintain their lawful presence in the U.S. Failure to do so could lead to the suspension of benefits. 

Non-Citizenship

 If a beneficiary is incarcerated for more than 30 days, they will lose eligibility for SSDI payments during their time in prison. 

Incarceration

If you miss a scheduled hearing or fail to attend a medical examination required by the SSA, your benefits may be suspended.
