SSI notice....appt to make sure you are still eligible

Hi,

'm thinking that there has been discussion regarding this before and I didn't

ay close attention because it didn't apply to me at the time. We recently rcvd

letter from SSI to come in /call to review case to see if my son (who has been

n SSI about 5 yrs now) is still eligible.

as anyone been through this before ? any advice ? what to expect ? what to

ring with ? I'm worrying already because record keeping and dealing with

aperwork is not my best trait !

Thanks,

Maureen

they asked if works and I told them yes and that I send his pay stubs in on

a monthly basis. Also, they will be speaking to me, not , I told them if

they need to talk to we will need an appointment to come in since he won't

be able to be interviewed over the phone. So, quite honestly I'm not sure what

they will ask but if they need more than I can provide in answers then I guess

we'll need to schedule a time to go in.

Maureen, I received that letter a few months ago. I called and the

representative did a telephone interview with me. Then I got a letter saying

that 5 months, my daughter's assets were over $2000 (which was a repeat from

last year as these same 5 months were already resolved).

I was asked what the balances in my daughter's accounts were. If they are over

a certain amount, SSA will contact the bank for the first day of the month

balances.

SSI does several different types of reviews:

 

1) Medical Review

- When someone is approved for SSI, there is a number input into SSI's computer

- this is for how many years they will do a medical review. (Is the claimant

still disabled). Everyone gets a medical review date. The number ranges from 1,

3, 5, 7 or 9 years from the date of approval or from the date of the last

medical review.

 

2) Update Review

- A few months after the official approval of SSI, they do an update - has any

information changed.

 

3) Income/Asset Review

- At any time, SSI can initiate a review to check on income (got a job, lost a

job, is SSI receiving monthly check stubs...etc...) and/or assets (did the

claimant's assets total under $2,000 at all times).  If in doubt, SSI has a new

form that they will send to the bank. There are many problems with this new form

so BE CAREFUL if you get a letter of overpayment or one that may cutt off

benefits. Currently, this bank letter does not:

- separate accounts of the SSI recipient & their parents so SSI  may think that

the parents' account is really the adult childs - thus putting them over $2,000

- subtract income received that month from the balance - thus putting them over

$2,000

 

4) Savings Bond Alert Review

- From time to time, the SSI worker will receive a report about savings bonds

that were purchased or owned or jointly owned or cashed in. Sometimes, these are

about savings bonds that were already reported to SSI or ones that they claim to

have no knowledge of, or ones that they never had knowledge of.

 

Hope this helps.
