Under the law, failure to report changes - or delay in re porting changes - can mean reductions in supplemental security income payments. The penalty is $25 for the first failure or delay, SSO for the second, and SIOO for each subsequent failure or delay. The penalty isn’t applied if people couldn’t help reporting late or weren’t at fault for not reporting changes in their circumstances.
