I fired my old attorney in February and got a referral for apparently an awesome attorney because I didn't even have to go to my hearing lol. I got my fully favorable approval letter a couple of days ago, and a letter to come in to the local office next week to give them more info for payment.
Does anyone know what I could bring with me, or need to know, to that appointment, in order to make things go smoother and faster?

Proof of all monthly income received since the date of application; any bank statements you have saved (probably should save them for the future); your bank routing number and account number for direct deposit; all addresses you have had since you applied and the effective date of those addresses; names of all the people you lived with, the amount of the rent, the amount you paid (if any); information about the income and resources of your spouse that you live with (if any); SSN's of spouse and minor children.
Then it depends upon how you answer the questions exactly what else is needed. Anything that proves your income, resources or living arrangements. If family members or friends have been giving you money or free shelter, SSI will need to know when and how much and if you made any official agreements (in the past, not the present) about whether or not you owed money and how much.
