Update: Social Security Expands Incentive Payments to Jails

In December 1999, the U.S. Congress extended provisions of a 1996 statute that authorized payments from the Social Security Administration (SSA) to jails that reported inmate eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to the SSA. The new law extends the incentive payment provisions to include information about inmates eligible for Social Security old age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI) benefits. SSI and OASDI payments to inmates will be suspended for any periods of incarceration over 30 days. Payments of benefits will not be paid to any person confined by court order to a public institution as a sexually dangerous person or sexual predator following completion of a prison term.
