How Many Days Am I Not Eligible To Get Retirement Benefits Due To Incarceration?
I was incarcerated for 45 days. One social security benefits analyst said I lose zero time as I was not there for a FULL calendar month. Another said I would lose 45 days worth. Another said I lose 2 months. I went in on the 2nd day of the first month and got out on the 16 of the next. How many days am I not eligible to get retirement
Not disability. Thank you
Hi,
If you were convicted of a crime and incarcerated for more than 30 consecutive days, you wouldn't be eligible for any Social Security benefits for any calendar month in which you were incarcerated for any part of the month. For example, if you were convicted and incarcerated from November 2nd through December 15th, you would lose your entire Social Security payment for the months of November and December.
Best, Jerry
