When you initially applied for Social Security benefits, either Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or for retirement, disability, or survivors (RSDI, also known as Title II) benefits, SSA told you about certain changes that could affect your ability to continue to get payments.For SSI benefits, the law states that you cannot live in a public institution (for example, a jail, prison, penal facility, etc.) for a full calendar month or more, and continue to get your SSI benefits. For Title II benefits, the law states that if you commit a crime and a court convicts you, and you serve more than 30 continuous days in jail following the conviction, you cannot get your Title II benefits. It is important that you tell SSA of any of these changes as soon as possible to avoid getting money that you are not due. You can contact SSA at anytime at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/reach.htm to report any changes that may affect your Social Security payments.
