Some of your statements are confusing
"DoorDash submitted a 1099 last month as social security" makes no sense. If you were working as an independent contractor for DoorDash, you were self-employed. DoorDash does not withhold anything for Social Security or Medicare. When you are self-employed--working as an independent contractor -- you pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare yourself when you prepare your tax return. Depending on how much you earned by working for DoorDash, you may or may not have received a 1099NEC. If you made at least $400 working for them, then you are required to enter that income on your tax return---with or without a 1099NEC. Did you prepare a 2023 tax return and enter the DoorDash income?
"Social Security has cut off my benefits.."
You do not mention your age, so we do not know if you have reached full retirement age. Before you reach full retirement age, if you continue working while drawing SS, your benefits can be reduced if you earn over a certain limit. If you continue to work while receiving SS before full retirement age, your benefits can be reduced. For 2023, if you earned more than $21,240 then your SS benefits could be reduced. If you have reached full retirement age, your benefits are not reduced if you continue to work; but your SS may be taxable.
You need to sort out what DoorDash actually sent to you and to the IRS. Did they send a 1099NEC for 2023? Did you enter DoorDash income for 2023 when you prepared your tax return--- or have you amended your 2023 return to include the 1099NEC now? What do your own records indicate that you made from DoorDash? How much did DoorDash put on the 1099NEC?
You also need to talk to Social Security to see what is really happening and why your benefits are "cut off" -- if in fact they have stopped paying your SS benefits. When you prepared your 2023 tax return did you enter a SSA1099?
