Crosspost in seniors too- My husband's Social Security benefits suspended [View all]

"because of your work"

We applied for early benefits ( age 64) in Sept. We have received three checks.
He had to stop work in August because he has/had cancer. He has gone through 33 radiation treatments and 3 strong chemo treatments. He had a feeding tube. He has not worked since August.

We have no idea if he will go back to work, but our plan was for him to collect SS and then work part-time. Probably make under the penalty amount, maybe a little more.

All I can figure out is they mistakenly think he was still working.

I filled out the appeal form with a cover letter. I put his boss's phone and his oncologist ( lol who is right next door to the SS office)

Anyone know anything about this process? I can't figure out why we got the letter in the first place or why they decided to suspend.

Thanks for any help.
