[nfbmi-talk] SSI questions

[Elizabeth]

Hello Mike,

I would think that the only reason they could do something like this is if 
you are under the age of eighteen. In which case, once you turn eighteen, 
you should be able to receive the checks under your name without any 
problem. If you are already over the age of eighteen, I would suggest 
talking to another case manager, or perhaps a supervisor.

Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
