What happens to anyone collecting on your record if you voluntarily suspend your payments?

When a person collecting benefits on your record voluntarily suspends their payments, it leads to the suspension of benefits for them as well. This scenario typically occurs when the primary beneficiary decides to suspend their own benefits to earn delayed retirement credits, which can increase future benefits. Consequently, if the primary beneficiary suspends their payments, any auxiliary beneficiaries, such as spouses or children drawing on that record, will also see their payments stopped during that suspension period. This interconnectedness of benefits highlights the importance of understanding how suspending payments can impact all individuals receiving benefits from the same record.
