Interesting thought.</p>philipcbanksWed, 22 Jul 2009 14:54:28 -0000http://socialsecurityinsider.com/been-in-jail-or-prison-get-entry-release-dates/#comment-9174226<p>Hi Mary,</p><p>Thanks for commenting. That is a good question.</p><p>Honestly, I am not sure. I have an article which discusses how auxiliary benefits paid to spouses and children can continue despite the incarceration of the disabled individual: <a href="http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2009/04/do-spouses-and-childrens-benefits-continue-during-incarceration/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2009/04/do-spouses-and-childrens-benefits-continue-during-incarceration/">http://www.socialsecurityin...</a></p><p>But that is another matter.</p><p>Checking the regulations (<a href="https://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-0468.htm)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="https://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-0468.htm)">https://www.socialsecurity....</a> seems to suggest that benefits could continue to an incarcerated individual before conviction or even after conviction (if the conviction is not a felony or punishable by at least a year in jail or death).</p><p>So, the regulations suggest, yes, benefits could continue during incarceration but before conviction. Although, I wonder if there isn't some other provision that would prevent the benefits from being paid.</p>TomaszStasiukSun, 10 May 2009 00:30:09 -0000http://socialsecurityinsider.com/been-in-jail-or-prison-get-entry-release-dates/#comment-9171181<p> If a person is in jail but has not been convicted of a crime yet , awaiting trial does social security benefits continue?</p>MarySat, 09 May 2009 22:02:51 -0000
