Update: Ok, I spent ALL DAY in the SSA office today. But I knew that I may have to do that (Thanks Janke)[so I took reading material. It was hard to be in there around all those people but I did it and had to keep telling myself that I HAD to do it.

I was able to get the interview right before closing time and I thanked the rep for squeezing me in. My local office said they dont do "emergency payments" but she said she could get me a check in 7-10 (or she may have said 5-10) days. Well, thats better than 6 weeks I guess. At least I know its on the way. Thanks to Janke and all that gave me advice!
