I called SS again today - they have faxed me the proof of income sheet I needed (the SS 800 number people are very good and responsible). However, this person told me that while many SS office people tell clients that it's a 3 week wait after receipt of your monthly check ... this one told me it could be up to 90 days!!!! And, if I have a financial hardship (ie: need $$ to rent housing, medical needs, etc) I could go to the local SS office and ask for an advance.

Just thought I'd 'share'.
