echoes, that's a good point, and a lot of people don't seem to realize that SSI and SSDI are two different animals.
Ruben562 did mention SSDI but might have been changed to SSI at some point but didn't include that information. Is that possible, Ruben562?

Yes I was on ssdi and got switched to ssi but I don’t get extra money from someone or was working. It just lowered from 1400 to 1100 and I don’t know why?

Hi
If you have an account on ssa.gov you can log in and see if there are perhaps any notifications there for you? You can also use the chatbot there to request a call back or call the main LOCAL number and then say "Help Desk" when prompted for an extension. That should get you through faster, and requesting a callback that way avoids the hours long wait times that can often occur on their phone system SSI payments are lower than SSDI and so that may be the reduction reason? It all depends on your situation, and they are the only ones who can provide the details Last edited by Chemar; 03-08-2024 at 12:38 PM. Reason: clarifying local number |

Yes, I was referring to the local number help center desk, not national - One can get that when one logs in. Even local lines can have long wait times, but just saying "help desk" instead of going on hold, can sometimes result in a "live" person who can then direct one, or arrange a call back.

when i call the local social security office i do not get a prompt for a choice to talk to a help desk. so it may depend upon the particular local office. They ask me why i am calling then switch me into the person who is taking calls that day. i never had to wait long.
