Social Security does not want to stop someone’s check when they are not in jail, or do not meet the requirements for Social Security to stop their Social Security payments. Before Social Security can stop someone’s check, they must be in jail throughout a full calendar month (for someone receiving Supplemental Security Income payments), or they must be both convicted and confined for more than 30 continuous days (for someone receiving retirement, survivors, or disability payments—Title II). The initial report helps Social Security identify those individuals who are in jail and receiving payments. The additional contact with the jail helps to verify that Social Security must stop the Social Security checks.
