5 Steps to Keep Your Social Security Disability Payments Coming to You

One of the things some Social Security Disability benefits recipients may keep in the back of their mind when things change, such as they receive more income from an unanticipated source, they have a change of name, or get divorced, is whether those little life changes may have an impact on the flow of their Social Security Disability checks. Indeed, for many Social Security Disability benefits recipients, the battle to get benefits in the first place was hard fought, and the idea of losing important benefits is impossible to even stomach. To help Social Security Disability benefits applicants and recipients better understand how “the little things” may impact their Social Security Disability checks, USA Today put together the following list of things to “watch for” when it comes to keeping your Social Security Disability checks, well…in check.

Five Things to Watch Out For to Keep Your Social Security Disability Checks Coming to You

First of all, it is important for Social Security Disability benefits recipients and applicants to keep in mind that the Social Security Administration is a beast of an agency that services millions of people. Keeping your own contact information up to date with the Social Security Administration is important to keep your checks coming. If you have moved, you got a new phone number, or you have a change in your marital status, you may want to put a call into the SSA to make sure that checks keep coming to you. Second, if you have received income from employment, it is important to keep the SSA apprised of income that you receive from an employment source. Failing to do so could result in the total elimination of your Social Security Disability benefits. In addition, if you have changed your bank or opened a new bank account, failing to update the SSA could lead to the return of your SSDI checks and a pause on your benefits while the SSA figures out why the payments are being returned. Fourth, if you already had a job and your work has now picked up, the SSA likely needs to know. An increase in income may impact your benefits. Finally, if a representative payee manages your SSDI payments, the SSA needs to know if there is a change in who will manage these important payments for you. Of course, every person’s case is unique and different, and there may be other steps that you can take to ensure you get your SSD payments in hand and on time. The best resource to speak to about your SSD questions is an experienced Social Security Disability lawyer.
