Interesting OGC Opinion On Pardoned Prisoners

Here is an excerpt from an interesting opinion from Social Security's Office of General Counsel (OGC). At least I find it interesting.

QUESTION

You have asked whether a convicted felon who was pardoned by the Governor of Florida and released from confinement in prison is entitled to Social Security benefits for the time he was confined in prison.

ANSWER

We conclude the applicant is not entitled to re-payment of benefits suspended during his confinement in prison.
