Supplemental Security Income case under review?

Interviewer: I just got a notice from Social Security that my Supplemental Security Income case is being reviewed. What does that mean?

Ken Hess: Well, when we do a Supplemental Security Income review, that’s the financial program, that’s the needs program. We end up handling that government program where we take income that we receive (that’s tax dollars), that supports the SSI program. So to be responsive to tax payers, we have to make sure that the clients who receive benefits are eligible and that they’re within the guidelines of when they applied for benefits. So we do a review on clients infrequently, not every year, at times there might be a couple of years in between. But, the clients do have to go through that financial review with us, either by being available to talk to us on the phone, or by coming in to the office.

And, also for disability clients we review their disability cases too, but usually we’ll just send them the form and let them complete the medical information and send it back to us. We do the financial review for SSI either over the phone or in the office with the client.

And it’s not that we’re worried that our client is doing something wrong, it’s just that we have to be responsive to tax payers and making sure that the program is handled and run properly. And to make sure that the people who are eligible are the ones that continue to receive benefits.
