People should promptly report changes in circumstances that could affect their supplemental security income payments and should not wait to hear from social security, according to Robert C. Cooper, Field Representative in Winchester.
The supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. Eligibility and monthly payments amounts can be affected by changes in income, living arrangements, marital status, and other circumstances.
“To get the right supplemental security income checks to the right people on time,” Mr. Cooper said, “the Social Security Administration periodically contacts people getting payments to review their eligibility and monthly payment amounts. “But we may not be in touch with people as often as their circumstances change,” he said. “So they should report changes to us as promptly as possible.”
People have 30 days to report changes that affect their supplemental security income payments. Failure to report changes—or delay in reporting—can mean penalty reductions in payments.
“People can get information about reporting changes by calling or writing any social security office,” Mr. Cooper said.
