Every month, millions of households get the United States Social Security Disability benefit, which helps those in need pay their bills and other expenditures. It is true, nevertheless, that if we are in a particular circumstance, we occasionally lose this advantage.

Thankfully, we can receive our Social Security checkback in certain of these circumstances. Whether or not we are in the same predicament as previously will determine everything. However, depending on the circumstances, it may occasionally be good news to lose your disability benefit.

Why might I lose my Disability payment in 2025?

We might stop receiving disability benefits in 2025 for the following key reasons:

• 
  Improvement in health status.
  
  If your medical condition improves enough that it is no longer considered a disability that prevents you from working, you may lose benefits after a medical review by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
• 
  Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA).
  
  If you start working and your earnings exceed the
  
  Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA)
  
  limit you could lose eligibility.
• 
  Continuing medical review (CDR) inactivity.
  
  SSA conducts periodic reviews to evaluate whether you continue to meet medical requirements. If you do not participate or provide incomplete information, you could lose benefits.
• 
  End of Trial Work Period.
  
  SSA allows a 9-month trial period for people with disabilities to try to work without losing benefits. If you continue to work after this period and your earnings exceed the SGA, benefits may stop.
• 
  Income from unreported benefits.
  
  If you receive other income or benefits that you do not report to SSA, this could affect your eligibility for SSDI.
• 
  Changes in family status.
  
  Although disability benefits are not usually tied to marital status, if you get additional dependent benefits, changes such as marriage or divorce could impact those amounts.
• 
  Serious legal violations.
  
  Being incarcerated for a felony or getting a conviction involving detention can lead to temporary or permanent suspension of SSDI.
• 
  Retirement age.
  
  Upon reaching
  
  full retirement age
  
  (usually between 66 and 67), disability benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits.

In 2025, the maximum disability benefit payment is $4,018; however, not everyone is eligible to receive that amount. Keep in mind that you can only receive the SSDI payment each month if all requirements are fulfilled.
