Avoid Suspension of your Social Security benefits - El Adelantado
Despite the intimidating title of this article, it actually conveys some excellent advice - namely, you should make sure Social Security has all of your correct information to ensure your benefits flow uninterrupted. There is no question that monthly Social Security payments are an important source of income for most Americans. At least 50% of all recipients say that Social Security represents a “major” part of their retirement income. And, for some, Social Security represents as much as 90% or more of what they need to make their financial ends meet.
The best way to ensure that Social Security has all your current information is to create your personal “my Social Security” online account. Here you can make sure that your benefits are going to the right bank account. Equally important is to make sure that your contact information (your mailing address, marital status, and email address) are correct in case Social Security needs to get in touch. As this article at El Adelantado suggests, to avoid any disruptions in your benefits, you should:
- Keep your personal information up to date
- If you work, timely report any income changes to Social Security
- Confirm your residency
- Watch out for scammers seeking to steal your Social Security
