The disability benefit is one of the most useful Social Security payments in the United States. It helps thousands of families pay their bills each month, as well as other expenses.
However, not all disability beneficiaries are aware that they could lose the benefit. Although it is not a very common occurrence, it is possible that this could happen. Normally there is nothing to worry about, but you should keep this possibility in mind in some cases.
This situation can occur, above all, in the case of citizens who have gotten a SSDI after working for many years. Especially if we get the SSDI.
In the case of disability from birth, it is practically impossible for the Social Security Administration to take away the benefit. The important thing in these cases is to be alert in case this type of situation occurs.
For many retirees with a disability benefit, this is the only source of income. Therefore, losing this benefit can be bad news.
REASONS WHY DISABILITY BENEFITS MAY BE LOST
There is one main and obvious reason why we might lose the SSDI. This reason is none other than if you no longer have a disability. As we said before, this is very common in the case of situations where we have had some kind of accident. As soon as we get back to normal, the Social Security Administration will stop sending us the SSDI.
There are also other reasons why it is possible not to collect disability benefits any longer or for a period of time. On the one hand, going to prison means stopping SSDI payments altogether. On the other hand, returning to work, even if we have not fully recovered, also means that we lose the disability benefit.
Similarly, when you reach age 70, it is common to stop collecting SSDI and start collecting Social Security retirement benefits. However, this is not always the case and we may find ourselves in a different situation.
If we find ourselves in the situation where we stop collecting Social Security disability because of an improvement in our health, the news is very good. Even though we will stop collecting our monthly check, what we will be able to do is work normally.
Remember that the Social Security Administration must have official medical documents in these cases. These documents must justify the citizen’s disability and must be truly official. If our doctor gives us a new examination and the situation is no longer a problem to work, we will stop collecting the pensioner’s pension.
