Update: The general rule of thumb is that an individual is not eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI or SSI) during incarceration. It does not matter if the conviction is for a misdemeanor or a felony. However, when benefits stop differs depending on whether you are receiving SSDI or SSI. As a result, individuals may receive Social Security benefits for a short time after incarceration. Click here for more information.
The 2015 IRA contribution limits will look just like it did for 2014. Both the traditional and Roth IRA will have the same contribution limit, which will max out at $5,500. If you are 50 years or older, there is a $1,000 catch up contribution.
In 2014, the annual contribution limit was $5,500 for any type of IRA account. Only individuals with a MAGI of up to $127,000 are eligible for a partial contribution to a Roth IRA, with the rest of the funds placed in a traditional IRA. Traditional IRA contributions can be tax deductible or partially tax deductible based on MAGI. In 2014, an individual with a MAGI of up to $70,000 is eligible for at least partial deductibility. There are no income limits on who can contribute to a traditional IRA.
