Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability insurance benefits; limitations on benefit payments to prisoners; restrictions on disability determinations for felony-related and prison-related impairments--Social Security Administration. Proposed rules.
These proposed regulations, which are based on Pub. L. 96-473, place certain restrictions on the payment of benefits based on disability and student status to persons who have been convicted of a felony and are imprisoned and restrict the use of certain impairments in determining disability. These proposed rules specify the conditions under which benefits will not be paid to these individuals and how a finding of disability may be affected when an impairment, or the aggravation of a preexisting impairment, arises during the commission of a felony or imprisonment. Before the enactment of Pub. L. 96-473, there were no restrictions upon the payment of benefits or the making of disability determinations for these persons.
