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.

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.
