Social security — suspend benefits??

By Terry Savage on March 28, 2025 | Social Security

Is it safe to suspend social security benefits for 3 or 4 months in current political environment? I’m concerned that if I have benefits suspended that they won’t get restarted. I would have felt safe doing this in past years.

Thank you

I wouldn’t mess around with this right now. If you don’t need the check, just leave the money in the bank. (And you can’t suspend once you turn 70.)
