Social Security Notice

 

                              Date:

 

                              Claim Number:

 

You are not entitled to            benefits at this time because you do not meet the disability requirements of the law.

Our records show that your disability claim is based on an impairment connected with your confinement in a jail, prison, or other penal institution or correctional facility due to conviction of a felony.

The records also show that you committed the felony after October 19, 1980. In this situation, the Social Security law allows impairment connected with confinement to be considered for payment of benefits for any month you are confined. In this situation, the Social Security law does not allow an impairment(s) connected with confinement to be considered for payment of benefits for any month you are confined. Where the jurisdiction does not classify any crime as a felony, we apply these provisions to confinement for a crime which can be punished by death or by imprisonment for more than one year.

You may be entitled to benefits when you are released if you meet the disability requirements of the law. You should get in touch with any Social Security office about filing an application at that time.

If you believe that this determination is not correct, you may request that your case be reexamined. If you want this reconsideration, you must request it not later than 60 days from the date you receive this notice. You may make your request through any Social Security office. If additional evidence is available, you should submit it with your request. Please read the enclosed leaflet for a full explanation of your right to question the determination made on your claim.

If you do not request reconsideration of your case within the prescribed time period, you still have the right to file another application at any time.

If you have questions about your claim, you may get in touch with any Social Security office. Most questions can be handled by telephone or mail.
