SSI Acceptance Letter, participant on SSI and collects Pension payments in installments... then found to be committing fraud...

[Guest annette1001]

Social Security Disability has been approved and the participant is getting benefits, plus is getting workman's comp. benefits. He took his money for his pension by installements each month on the status of Retired/Disabled. Recently he was just determined to committing insurance fraud and has had the workman's comp benefits and the SSI disability benefits revoked. Can the pension payment be stopped until he reached retirement age since he is not considered retired/disabled due to this issue.. because he needed to get a job? The DOL frowns upon taking a benefits away from participants, however under the circumstances... the employer feels that the participant took advantage of the system and wants this participant to wait until retirement age to collect the remaing pension balance.

What is the difference when a participant elects disability and get the SSI acceptance letter and then when the participant is up for review in 4-5 years, which is found that health has improved and the participant can go back to work... if this participant was taking installments and is not considered disabled.. can the pension payments cease since his status has changed. How do you go about doing this if it can be done and keep the Plan in compliance?
