6. Being in prison suspends Social Security benefits
The SSA suspends Social Security benefits if you’re convicted of a criminal offense that sends you to jail for 30 days or more. You’re allowed to have your benefits reinstated once you’re released, but that generally won’t be done automatically. Fortunately, benefits payable to a spouse, children, or other eligible recipients on your work record aren’t affected by your incarceration.
