What happens to my benefits when I am in prison?

If you receive Social Security, we’ll suspend your benefits if you’re convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to jail or prison for more than 30 continuous days. We can reinstate your benefits starting with the month following the month of your release.

So you can loose your house, your car and everything if you go to jail.
