Has anyone had the experience of having their retro-pay held up 5 months after receiving a favorable (SSDI) judgement, after receiving your monthly check and medicare months ago? My wife's lawyer, our congressman's staff and I have contacted SS about the length of time its been since her award and why its now taking 5 months for her 3.5 year retro-pay. Sometime ago SS said it needed a second signature. Now they are stating they need a third signature and that a miscalculation may have occurred, so they are now in the process, after several years, in recalculating my wife's benefit amount.

Has anyone ever or know what is really going on? Or if there is a recourse, because we all know they most likely will recalculate to SS'es benefit not the taxpayer. And if this happens is it something that should be seriously looked into and who should do the looking? Thanks all!
