Having a monthly Social Security check is a financial relief for every household in the United States. Americans who get these checks are those who usually need them. But sometimes we may find that the Social Security Disability payment stops reaching American households.
While this does not happen all the time, it is possible that we could lose our monthly retirement check. The disability benefit has certain requirements and if we do not meet them we will stop receiving the payment. In addition to that, there are also certain actions that could cause us to lose this check. Thus, collecting the monthly payment could cease to be something that happens in our households.
That is why it is so important to understand both the payment schedule and the possible problems that can cancel a Social Security check. If we control these two aspects it is possible that our life will be much easier and simpler. At least financially, since the disability benefit is the only income for many American families.
How can I lose the Disability Benefit?
There are several ways in which you could lose your Social Security Disability Benefit. While it is true that stopping this check is bad news, what is also true is that one of the reasons we stop getting the check is actually very good news. So stopping getting SSDI may not always be bad, although financially it is always bad not to cash it again.
We could lose our SSDI check by:
- Going into jail. If we have to go to prison we will find ourselves without a retirement or Social Security disability check. We won’t be able to get the check again until we get out of prison.
- Regaining our health. If we have started collecting a disability payment because of a work-related accident at some point we may no longer have a health problem. And if we are able to return to work we will not go back to collecting SSDI.
- On taxes. If we collect any income in addition to the disability payment we may have to pay taxes. So keep this in mind when it comes to having any extra income in addition to the disability benefit.
There are more reasons, but these are the two main reasons why the Social Security Administration might stop paying us our monthly Disability benefit check.
Upcoming Social Security Payments
Even if our Social Security retirement benefit is disability or not we could still get the next of the checks. The truth is that two different checks may still arrive in January, although each beneficiary will get only 1 of them.
To get the next of the Social Security payments we must meet two requirements. The payment will be made on January 17th and the requirements are to have the benefit accepted since after 1997 and to have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of the month.
On the other hand, January 24th will also be a monthly Social Security payment day. On this day the last of the month’s retirement payments will be sent for both Disability beneficiaries and the rest of the retirees.
If you want to get the January 24th payment, you must have a check after 1997, as well as a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. All other beneficiaries should have already received their benefit by then.
