The federal government has several programs to help vulnerable groups, one of them is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but those who receive benefits can also lose them, so this time we are going to talk about the reasons why you may lose this financial relief.

Although we are also going to explain how you can recover them in the event that you lose the benefits.

The SSI program provides financial assistance to adults and children with disabilities or blindness, including those with income and resources below specific financial limits.

SSI direct payments are also for people age 65 and older who are not disabled, have low income from wages, pension, or other resources.

SSI recipients must be very careful not to lose the direct payment, below we explain the situations that could put you at risk.

Why can you lose SSI benefits?

  • And it is that one of the requirements to be eligible for SSI is to have a disability for different causes, but if that condition improves and is overcome, you no longer qualify to receive direct payment.
  • Another condition for losing benefits is when earnings exceed SGA.
  • Also, when the SSI recipient accumulates more than $2,000 in resources.
  • If you were hospitalized for more than 30 days, you can claim it when you have been discharged.
  • If for some reason you are imprisoned for more than a month, but when you are released you can claim the benefit
  • When you reach retirement age, since you cannot receive both benefits at the same time.

People who eventually lose their SSI direct payment for any of the reasons listed above, but get out of trouble, can resort to what is called “reinstatement of benefits.”
