What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I have been receiving SSI for my son since he was about 4 or 5 and he is now 14.
Today I received a letter from my local office. I have tried to get in touch with the office to find out more information but for some reason I can't get in touch with anyone.
Here is the letter in full:
This is a very important letter about keeping your SSI. Please read it carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, please get in touch with us right away.
You Have an Appointment
We must regularly review the cases of people who get SSI. We need information from you to make sure you are still eligible.
What We Need for the Appointment:
Bank statements:saving and checkin accounts, and any other bank statement
Pay stubs from work or self-employed, last year's income tax return
Unemployment compensation payment records and/or worker's compensation award
Pension records from: the Department of Veterans Affairs, Railroad Retirement Board, Civil Service, State, military, private pensions.
Come to see us on X X, 20012
at XPM and as for Mrs. X.
It then goes on to say if they don't hear from me by 2 days after the appointment date that my SSI might be stopped and how I could file an appeal to continue to receive payments during the appeal process.
My question is, why are they sending me this? I've never received such letter durning the entire time I've been receiving these benefits?
Like I said, I have called all morning only to have nothing but phone problems (on their end, not mine) and can't reach a single soul! I'm sure as heck not going to go down there just to find out ahead of time...these offices are MAD PACKED with people and I would be sitting there for hours!
Any experts have any idea what this is about?
Thanks and I appreciate it!
Regards
