SSA has entered into agreements with
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, along with State and local
correctional facilities and certain mental health institutions, to
submit monthly prisoner reports to SSA. SSA matches these reports

take action to suspend their payments. SSA uses the reports of
confinement as the basis for stopping payments under titles II
& XVI.
