Social Security Review

[Guest guest]

I just got a letter that Social Security is reviewing my SSI case. I have to go

in and meet w/ someone at the SS office next Friday morning. They want to see

all of my financial records since 2005, which of course I don't keep because

someone could break in and steal that stuff. It makes me nervous, but they don't

seem to be asking for medical evidence that I'm still sick or anything. Tell the

truth is the best policy right? I've had to borrow money from my parents in the

winter because I can't afford to pay my electric bill and eat. And I've had help

(grants) for school...but the guy on SS 1-800 number told me they don't care

about who pays for my school. So I should be ok...I think. Has anyone else been

through this kind of review before?

Hi Alia:

Do you mean that you've gone through this before and they're reviewing it over

again? Or do you mean that you're just starting the process? I wasn't sure

which way you're talking about.

Hi Alia!

Because SSI is a supplemental income and not SSDI

(which is disability completely based on medical

information) it sounds as if this is how they do their

reviews for SSI. I have SSDI and not SSI. Here is a

link for you! I hope this helps and good luck! I am

sure they just want to make sure that there has not

been any income over what they allow. They do reviews

for SSI and SSDI.

Alia,

For SSI the SSA expects you to keep financial records, especially

receipts because there are limits as to what you can buy with SSI. Not

that anyone on SSI could live like the wealthy. Most receipts have no

identifying information. You can get copies of your canceled checks

from the bank. Have your parents write a letter explaining that they

help you pay your expenses.

Any questions ask, I'm not shy. Take care of you.
