    Default Social Security Administration is Withholding SSI Back Pay

    Hello, I have a question regarding SSI benefits. My child was approved in November 2013 and received their first payment in September 2014. They received their first back payment in August 2014. The second installment was set to come through in February 2015. I then had to go to the local SSI office quite a few times and they finally released it in April 2015. I am struggling again to get them to release the final payment that was due in Oct 2015. I have spoken with the 1-800 number and the local office with no success. The woman at the local office is rude and insists that I fill out dozens of papers before they can do anything. Are they allowed to withhold this money that is owed to my child?

    I didn't speak with the rude woman, but if she gave you documents to complete and indicated that your completion and submission of the documents would resolve the problem, that would seem to be a reasonable first step.

    Not only is SSA allowed to pay by installments and ask for dozens of papers, they are REQUIRED to do so.

    Did you do your part and spend the first two installments ONLY on medical or educational needs of the child and keep the records to prove it? Or did you ignore the policy and spend the money the way you wanted? Read the link.
