I said I know I don't - I have almost paid off my home, own a car - more assets than allowed! So they had me print off a form and on it request that my application for SSI be withdrawn, and take it to my local office. I did that right away. Local office said give it a month to be processed.

I checked mid January, and they said they would put in an inquiry as I should have had it by then. I get direct deposit, and they double checked all the info. They said call back Feb. 11 if I did not have it yet.

Feb. 11 - still nothing. I call again, they say they will put in another inquiry, but my file seemed to not have moved from last month.

I am sorry I can't remember the name of the office or what point it is stuck at. It is where they check all your records and stuff to be sure you don't owe the government anything.

They said wait another month and call again.

Any ideas on getting a fire under them?

Thanks.
Both you and Jimking need to talk the the SSI windfall offset specialist in your local office. There may only be one employee in your office that is an expert in windfall offset. There are a series of inputs that need to be done in order to remove the windfall indicator and this often holds up release of the retroactive benefits.
