Why Have My Benefits Been Suspended?

I just noticed that Social Security suspended my monthly benefits since December 2020. I started to collect a small benefit at age 62 (dob 11.11.1948). I was not notified of this change, nor did I initiate it. What's going on?
Thanks for any info on how to resolve this.

Hi. I have no way of knowing why your benefits may have been suspended. You'll need to call Social Security at 800-772-1213 to find out why your benefits have been suspended and what you need to do to resolve the problem.

Best, Jerry
