Public benefits

This interview helps a parent or representative payee of a child on SSI keep track of money spent from a dedicated account with the child's retroactive SSI benefits.

If you get SSI or SSDI, you need to tell Social Security about changes in your life. This tool helps you write a letter to Social Security to report changes, including:

• Moving
• Starting to live by yourself or with someone else
• Being in jail
• Being in the hospital
• Being in a nursing home
• Being outside the United States for more than 30 days
• Getting help to pay for rent or food
• Getting money from a lawsuit or lottery
• Getting married or divorced

If you were paid too much money by the Social Security Administration and are required to pay it back, you can use this form to request a change in the repayment amount or a waiver of part of the overpayment.
