[nabs-l] Question about SSI

Hi Vejas and all,
I personally don't think that it is necessary to indicate to
Social Security that you're living in the dorm. The reason is
that I've also been attending a blindness training center here in
New York that is only an hour away from my house, and go home
every weekend. I have my home address for SSI, so that's where
they send my monthly benefits to. I have never had any problems
with that; Social Security has never confronted me about what I
do with my checks. The only thing they have contacted me about
was to go to a meeting back in May so that they could have proof
of my blindness and hard of hearing.
So in summary, even though I live in the dorm at the training
center (although like you I'll be finishing in two weeks and
going back home for the summer), I still have my home address for
receiveing my SSI benefits since it's only an hour away and since
I go home on weekends. By the way, I'll be doing the same for
college in the fall, because my college is also only about 15-20
minutes away from my house, and I'll also be living in the dorm
during the week and going home on weekends.
I hope this helps and have a great first weekend in June!
Thanks,
Sami

It is much better to say you are living in the dorm. That would
give you
full SSI checks. Do you pay rent at home? If you do you get full
checks.

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions regarding SSI.
I am going to graduate from LCB in two weeks and moving back
home for the
summer, so I know that I will need to report that I am living
back home.
How far in advance do I need to do this, bearing in mind that my
social
security rep is not the best at answering calls?
Secondly, I am going to be moving to my dorm in August. The
college that
I am staying at is only 20 minutes away from home, which means
that I can
always go home on weekends and can come and go as I please. I
would
obviously be staying at home for breaks also. Would I still
need to report
about staying in the dorm?
Thanks,
Vejas
