Re: Question on SSI, SSDI & Annual Representative Payee Report

[Guest guest]

Good Morning, I always receive 2 reports and I just split everything in half and

never had any problems.  However the more I see on here the more I wonder if I

am doing things right or not.  I do not have a separate account.  I just have

the SSI and SSDI deposited into my account every month and I just pay his share

(and them some) every month from my account.  My son is 29 and I have been

doing this for years and nobody has questioned it.  I do not send in a report

on how much he earns from his part time job, as they said I only have to do that

if he goes over his allowed amount.  Trying to get someone to answer all my

questions from Soc Sec is impossible.  My son gets SSDI, SSI, Medicare A, B and

D and HBWD and is also carried on my insurance from my job.  Everything has a

limit of what you can earn, save, spend, etc.  Anyone know where I can find out

what exactly is the right things to do?  More and more confused everyday! 

Thanks, Shirley

This is for those who are knowledgeable about getting SSI AND SSDI.

This is the first year my son has received both. I just received the annual rep

payee report, where I tell them how much was spent on food, shelter, medical,

etc.

On the report, the total amount for the past 12 months they give is not the

total he received for 12 months of SSI--it's the amount he received for SSI &

SSDI for the past 12 months.

I'm confused. I know SSI has only a few categories that the money can be spent

on, and I thought that the form's purpose was to account for that. So why are

they including what he received in SSDI in the total?
