The Social Security Administration has become increasingly aggressive in its review of the criminal records of those who receive, or seek to receive, Social Security benefits. If the Social Security Administration's search reveals an active warrant, they will contact the applicant or recipient by letter to notify him or her of the situation.
The notification letter provides information concerning three issues:
(1) The status of the active criminal warrant (e.g. felony or misdemeanour's, case number, identification of the court system).
(2) Steps that can be taken to resolve the situation with Social Security.
(3) The financial consequences if the warrant is not eliminated.
If a person has already received benefits while a warrant was pending, the Social Security Administration may seek reimbursement. The amount they seek will be the total paid to the recipient while the warrant was pending. This can result in a situation where the recipient is required to pay back thousands of dollars in benefits. If an applicant has not yet received any benefits, the Administration will block payment until the warrant is resolved.
You will be eligible for payment, and avoid restitution, if you can demonstrate any of the following:
(1) The warrant was incorrectly issued in your name.
(2) You were found not guilty of the criminal charge.
(3) The criminal charges were dismissed by the Court or a law enforcement agency.
(4) The warrant was withdrawn.
(5) You were otherwise cleared of the offense.
Alternative Solutions
If none of the above options apply, you may be eligible for benefits or avoid restitution if you can demonstrate the following:
(1) The original crime for which the warrant was issued was both nonviolent and not a drug related offense.
AND
(2) You have neither been convicted of nor pled guilty to another felony since the date of the warrant.
AND
(3) The law enforcement agency that issued the warrant reports that it will not extradite you or take action for your arrest.
OR
(4) The original crime for which the warrant was issued was both nonviolent and not drug related.
AND
(5) You have neither been convicted of nor pled guilty to another felony since the date of the warrant.
AND
(6) The only existing warrant was issued 10 or more years ago.
AND
(7) Your medical condition impairs your mental capacity to resolve the warrant, you are legally incompetent, or you reside in a long-term care facility of some type.
If you have been notified by the Social Security Administration that you have an active warrant and that your benefits are in jeopardy, a criminal defense attorney can help.
(1) A criminal defense attorney can assist you in determining whether the information regarding the warrant is accurate or not.
(2) If it is inaccurate, the attorney can assist in gathering evidence that the warrant does not apply to you.
(3) If it is accurate, the attorney can help determine whether you were found not guilty or the charges were otherwise dismissed.
(4) If the warrant is accurate and the charges were not successfully resolved in your favor, an attorney can help negotiate a settlement with the State Attorney that will seek to eliminate the warrant and dismiss the charges. This result can help you restore your benefits and avoid the payment of restitution.
without ssa you cannot have medicare benefits
Social Security Administration Benefits.
Because the SSA is very stringent about allowing Social Security Disability benefits, you are most likely to not qualify for unemployment benefits because you have to be able to work, which the SSA had to admit you couldn't.
Persons under 65 become Medicare eligible after receiving Social Security benefits for 24 months. To receive SSA benefits, a person under age 65 must be "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by SSA.
NO. SSA (SSB) social security benefits would be UNEARNED income and would NOT be qualifying earned income on your income tax return for any of the credits.

I see no reason why not but if you move out of the country, you may lose your benefits. Contact SSA.
Old age survivors and disability insurance (FICA) is what pays the social security benefits and a part of the medicare insurance premium and other benefits that the SSA handles.
If you had been married to your husband more than 20 years, you should still be able to receive SSI benefits from your exhusband. Check with www.socialsecurity.gov.
Even though the penalties that are noted in SSA regulations are "scary" and they do include the possibility of incarceration in a federal facility, it seldom happens in cases of misunderstanding. The problem is how exactly was the person entitled or receiving the supplemental benefits? Were the benefits belong to the deceased or the deceased's dependant children? Was the SSA notified of the death of the beneficiary? All these factors and possibly others directly affect what if any action the SSA will take in regards to the issue.
