You must report events or changes in circumstances if they affect your eligibility or payment amount. You must make the report within 10 calendar days after the end of the month the event or change occurred.
If you do not report an event that affects your SSI benefits, there may be a penalty deduction in later benefit payments as follows:
$25 penalty for the first time;
$50 penalty for the second time; and
$100 for each subsequent failure.
We do not impose a penalty if you were without fault or had good cause for not reporting an event.
You must report such matters as:
Change in amount of earned and unearned income;
When you report to us about changes in your earnings or work activity, we will give you a receipt to verify that you have properly fulfilled your obligation to report. Keep this receipt with all of your other important papers from Social Security.
