QUESTION
Can my SSDI Benefits be terminated for an outstanding misd. warrant?
Asked on Dec 18th, 2012 on Social Security Disability - Michigan
More details to this question:
I just out of a relationship and my ex filed a report saying that I harassed her when I only asked for my ring back. The police in her state called and said that is harassment. If she tries to get me in trouble, what will happen to my SSDI? I read that SSDI only stops payments for felons. True?

If the Police actually decide to charge you, then most departments will call u to come in and turn yourself in to appear before a Judge to set bond. So you can avoid part of the problem by taking care of any charges at the warrant stage ASAP. Then deal with the actual charges. Check out this link:

On a personal note, I would forget about the ring. It's gone.

Basically correct, you must be convicted for the benefits to stop. Read more here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/rulings/oasi/27/SSR83-21-oasi-27.html
