Social Security Benefits for Prisoners
Description:
On Mar. 24, 1983, the Congress adopted, as part of the Social Security
Amendments of 1983 (P.L. 98-21), a measure to preclude virtually all
incarcerated felons from receiving social security benefits of any kind,
including retirement and survivor benefits. This action expanded previous
legislation. In October 1980, legislation had been enacted (P.L. 96-473)
that denied only social security disability benefits and student benefits to
prisoners convicted of a felony.
