Received a large sum back payment two months ago but no letter.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I receive SSDI and back in August I received a lump sum payment of $6,460 from SSA TREAS 310. I waited a month to spend it in case it was a mistake or if a letter came but no letters ever came saying if it was a back payment or if it was back pay.

Rent came due and I had to dip into the money I was sent to help pay rent, buy groceries, clothes for work, etc. I just checked my payment history and the large payment that was listed before is now gone. I have received other large back payments as well and those payments aren't in my payment history either.

I checked my overpayments to make sure I wasn't overpaid but there is nothing listed there. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?

Hi there,
You may want to contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.

Hi There,

It is always best to double check with the SSA with any specific questions you have regarding how to spend Social Security payments.

Good Morning,
Start an ABLE trust fund (google it)if she qualifies.
