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?
