REASONS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY CANCELLATION

Changes in your health condition, income, and other circumstances can lead to a termination of your Social Security benefits. Here are some reasons why your Social Security benefits may be in danger of being canceled or discontinued:

• Receiving an inheritance

• Receiving a settlement or award for personal injury or workers’ compensation cases

• Returning to work while receiving Social Security benefits

• Reaching retirement age while receiving Social Security benefits

• Being sentenced to prison or another penal institution for committing a crime

• Increase in income or assets valuing above the eligibility limit

• Turning 18 years of age

• Changes in your living condition

• Improvement in your medical condition

HOW TO AVOID CANCELLATION

An individual’s Social Security benefits are often reviewed regularly. When it is time for review, the Social Security Administration will contact you requesting your present medical condition and treatment records. Pursuant to the Code Of Federal Regulations Section 404.1596, the SSA may stop your benefits before making a determination if:

• You’re no longer disabled

• You have failed to respond to the request to provide additional medical or treatment records to ascertain your condition

If the SSA determines that you’re no longer eligible for benefits, they will send you a notification terminating your benefits. To avoid cancellation, ensure that you submit the requested medical documentation.

CHALLENGING YOUR CANCELLATION

If you believe that the decision of the SSA to terminate your benefits is unfounded, you are within your rights to appeal the decision. An experienced Social Security benefits attorney will help prepare your appeal and guide you through the legal process.

THE APPEALS PROCESS

You can file an appeal within 60 days of receiving the termination of benefits letter from the SSA. Here is the process involved in filing a Social Security cancellation appeal:

• Submit the Request for Reconsideration form SSA-561-U2. You can download the form online or get it from your local Social Security office.

• Send the request form to the Social Security Administration through registered or certified mail.

• Submit your updated medical records alongside the request form.

• Attend the hearing in front of the Administrative Law Judge

A knowledgeable attorney can help prepare your Social Security appeal, represent you during the hearing, and provide you with the best opportunity of obtaining a favorable outcome.
