Lump sum back payment

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I received two lump sum payments, but I have not spent all of the funds. I want to make a funeral arrangement and buy a car. How soon must I spend the lump sum payment.

Hi Michelle,
You may be able to, it's a good idea to contact the SSA with documentation of this ( like an eviction notice).

I need my back payment released now for rent but I am not due until October but I've had it done before years ago I just needed to bring in the apartment lease agreement but I am not living in an apartment, I'm renting a room but I owe back rent. So my question is will they take a hand written rental agreement

Hi Brittany,

I can't say for sure. You may be able to get expedited payments from the SSA. I would recommend speaking to a representative from there just to be sure.

Best,
Eric

Hi i live in Illinois. My son receives SSI benefits he is 5yr. He is receiving back pay. I was told the back pay has to be spent on medical or educational. Or things that benefits him. I called the SSI 1800 and asked if i could use some of the money for a new bed for my son and my car needed new breaks and I asked if i could use some of the money to fix my car they said yes because I benefited my son.. Well today and had to go to my local SSI office and they asked me if ive used the back pay i said yes. Had to fix it breaks on my car and a bed for my son, i told the lady that I called the SSI 1800 number to make sure it was okay to use the back pay and that they said yes it shouldn't be a problem. Well the lady today told me no and I have to put the money back that I used. I don't know what todo is there anyone to could call to sort this. And what will happen if i dont pay back the money.

Hi Gabriela,
I'm sorry to hear about that! Unfortunately, you may be required to repay the SSA regarding that use of funds.

My daughter, Sara Lindstrom has mental illness and she needs the remaining balance of the back pay monies. It's for hardship, many things late for payment. What does she need to do

Hi Linda,
You may want to contact the SSA regarding this hardship with some documentation of it ( for example, an eviction notice, past due bills, ect).

Hi Michael,
If your child's mother was the representative payee for his account, she may be liable for any money owed to the SSA.

My daughter was born primitive at 1lb5onces. She was hospitalized in nicu at 29 weeks. Me and her mother set up a SSI claim for her were she started reciveing $30.00 payments per month while she was hospitalized. She was discharged 3 months later.We continued receiving her $30.00 payment from June 2014 January 2016 so far we gotten 2 lump sum payments of $2,000 every 6 months. How do I request my daughters last lump sum payment of $9,500.

I emailed our local congressman yet I also went to my local office with documentation of my health taken a turn for the worse and also being kicked out. Because I became sicker. Lol. I wanted the money to buy a small camper to set up at a local park one payment pays all bills and the one I found the man was willing to hold 2 days and I had only seen pictures. My Congress secretary submitted an inquiry and a case worker gave me paperwork to fill out to turn back in that day. It was a wed they close at noon and when I made it back the guard was holding door for people to exit and would not let me turn it in. I was so upset I called my worker left message and he returned my call before I made it home. He is aware of everything and u became very sick and they still don't no what's wrong. He advised me to be careful and said I was approved but be very careful. Go look and make sure it's what it's suppose to be and see if he will hold it a few more days. He said there was no way it could be processed by Friday and it would definitely be following week. Have him write a description amount and contact num and bring it back next day. Well it was a dump. But I found one where I'm from of people I new off and got everything together and dropped off. I'm waiting on tests ect to find out what's going on and want my own place to recipe and live that I can easily move if need be. I'm praying it will be deposited Monday but it was wed when I was approved and I pray into the system the next day. This turn for the worse and trusting has really taken a toll on me. Do you think it can be in as soon as Monday?

Hi Michelle,
I really could not say as we are not affiliated with the SSA or the federal government.

Hello everyone,

Well I've been going through the decision making process with my 10 years old son since September of 2012. We finally made it to go in front of a law judge in June 2017. I was told that I brought in enough information so my son will be entitled to his pack pay. I was wondering how long do it take to get the approval letter. When I called they said it is still processing. Also, his diagnosis changed over the years but, I made sit to turn in all information. He has autism and other things.

Hi Crystal,

Congrats on the approval! Unfortunately there really is no timetable, but just continue to regularly check in with your status online.

Best Wishes,

I am still waiting to see the ODAR judge in ky. I have applied for both SSDI/SSI. My attorney says I have a great case just have to see the judge. what I would like to know when I am approved and I receive my back pay for the 17 months, I was told I can get my SSI back pay all the same time and the SSDI over time is this true?

I received a lump sum payment from my 401k which brings me over the allotted 999.99 I can have in my bank account. Can I do a voluntary payment to SSDI in order to remain on disability? I really do not want to have to be taken off disability and then re-apply.
