We want you to know about other benefits you may be entitled to receive. This includes the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or SNAP.</p>
<p>SNAP is a federal program run by state agencies that helps people with low-income purchase nutritious food.</p>
<p>When you apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you can also apply for SNAP. If you and everyone in your household are applying for or already receive SSI payments, Social Security will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Help you complete the SNAP application by phone. Call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 or at our TTY number, 1-800-325-0778, if youre deaf or hard of hearing.</li>
<li>Help you complete the application in person if you have a scheduled appointment.</li>
<li>Mail you a SNAP application if you request one by phone.</li>
<li>Send the completed application to the local SNAP office for you.</li>
</ul>
<p>All other applicants, including people who apply for or receive only Social Security benefits, should take or send their SNAP application to their local SNAP office. You may also submit your SNAP application online. To find your local SNAP office or apply online, visit the Food and Nutrition Services <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory">SNAP State Directory of Resources</a> website. You can also call the SNAP information line toll free at 1-800-221-5689.</p>
<p>To see if youre eligible for SNAP, check out the <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/recipient/eligibility">SNAP Eligibility</a> page. We also encourage you to check out our publication, <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10101.pdf"><em>Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Facts</em></a>, for additional information on the program.</p>
<p>Our efforts align with the Presidents mission to address <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/04/28/fact-sheet-the-american-families-plan/">nutrition insecurity</a> for Americas families and help you secure today and tomorrow. Please share this information with your family and friends and post it on social media.</p>

<p>Yeah you would like to think that was the case , however I and probably a lot of other people who applied and we&#8217;re told that Even though you have a disability you can get a job that you can do ,I guess we can expect an employer who only cares about his profit margin to accommodate the restrictions that a doctor recommended , you can&#8217;t believe that first of all they ask you on the application if you have any disabilities and you have to answer yes so much for you getting hired there goes that little bit of help the SSI just claimed to give you.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hi, Zenaida. Your son&#8217;s survivors benefits will continue to age 18, and your &ldquo;mother in the care of a child&rdquo; benefits stop when he turns 16, unless your son is disabled. To make that determination, your son would have to file a disability claim. Your son&rsquo;s disability claim must be sent to the Disability Determination Services office in your state which will make a decision based on the medical evidence. If his claim is approved, then we can reinstate your benefits. The length of time it takes to receive a decision on a disability claim can vary based on several factors: the nature of your son&rsquo;s disability, how quickly we obtain medical evidence from his doctor or other medical sources, and if his claim is randomly selected for a quality assurance review. If you have further questions, you should contact your local <a href="https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social Security office</a> to discuss your case.&nbsp; We hope this information is helpful.</span></p>

<p>I have been receiving both SSI and SSDI since 2013 as well as both Medicare and Medicaid. I saw banks in October 2021 and immediately called to change my direct deposit, but after 5 calls only the SSDI was changed, the 6th call told me to contact my local office. I did in January and informed them the old access was closed by the bank, they said they changed the SSI direct deposit info which wouldn&#8217;t go into effect until March, my February benefit would be returned to the treasury and reissued. I got a letter saying that I no longer will be getting SSI starting in March because I didn&#8217;t report the change. I did, many times. I called again and was reassured it was reinstated, but it isn&#8217;t reflecting on my social security account on the website. I also lost my Medicaid. I started a dual plan for Maryland that began on the 1st of the year. I can&#8217;t lose my insurance and nothing aside from my bank has changed, I should still be receiving SSI. I am terrified of losing both Medicaid (I will not be allowed to keep the dual eligibility insurance which provides dental, which I desperately need and vision) and SSI because I barely have enough with both SSI and SSDI each month after bills. I am trying to figure out what doctors I have to stop seeing once my insurance changes because I can&#8217;t afford them(I see at least 9 specialists, possibly a few more). The thing is, I can&#8217;t really stop seeing any of them without repercussions to my health that range from bad to life threatening. I can&#8217;t get anyone to help me despite 8 phone calls since October, 2 to the local office which I thought fixed things but resulted in my benefits being stopped. They said the Treasury would reissue the check since the bank returned it because the amount was closed, but that&#8217;s the reason cited as to why it&#8217;s being stopped (because it was sent back). I need help desperately, especially because I loose my insurance and SSI in March, also I haven&#8217;t received my SSI benefit for February. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could reach out to me ASAP. I&#8217;m really worried and it&#8217;s already exacerbating my health conditions, I don&#8217;t know what to do to fix this because I technically reported it in October and was assured both SSI and SSDI were switched to the new account, by 5 people.</p>
