What is my obligation to report changes in my health or income?

In Pennsylvania, it is your responsibility to report any changes in your health or income when you are participating in a disability planning law. This includes any changes in your income, whether it is from a job or other sources, health insurance coverage, address, and other important information. It is important to keep your disability planning documents up to date to ensure that your benefits remain in effect. Failing to notify the appropriate agency of changes could mean that your benefits are stopped or delayed. If you receive Social Security Disability benefits or other disability payments from a government program, you must report any changes in your income or health status to your local Social Security Administration or veterans office. Other changes you must report include an increase in income from supplemental security income, changes in household size, or changes in your living arrangements. If you are receiving benefits from private disability insurance, you are obligated to notify the insurance company of any changes in health or income. Your premiums or benefits could change as a result. If you are receiving disability benefits from a private disability trust, you must report any changes in income or health to the trust administrator or legal adviser. It is important to report changes in your health or income to ensure that your disability planning documents remain valid. Failing to do so could result in your disability benefits being stopped or delayed.
