If you get SSI or SSDI (or both), you are required to tell Social Security about changes in your life by the 10th day of the month after the change happened. Failure to do so could result in an overpayment. If this change occurred in the past, you may wish to speak with a legal representative.

This tool helps you report changes to Social Security, including:

• Update to personal information including phone number, address
• Change in living arrangements
• Leaving the United States for more than 30 days in a row
• Receipt of arrrest warrant.
• Changes to your employment status, if you start or stop work, or if there is a change in pay or hours worked
• Changes to your resources including account balances or any money received
• Change in marital status
• School attendence if under age 22
• Change in citizenship or lawful noncitizen status

If you are a person with a disability, you must also report

• Improvement in medical condition
• Any change in your Ticket to Work status
• Any change in your work or Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) expenses

Report these changes promptly and no later than the tenth day of the month after they happen to get an accurate payment of benefits.

How to select the right court form

Before you start

Before you start, you need to know:

1. Are you on SSI (Supplemental Security Income), SSDI (Social Security Disability), or both?
2. If you are working and getting paid, you need the name and address of the place you work, the number of hours you work, and how much you are paid. Your pay stubs should have all this information on them, so having them with you from the start will be helpful.
3. If you are answering questions for someone else, you need their full name, address, and Social Security number.

Make sure you have specific information, like dates and addresses, before you start. This will help you complete the form more quickly.
