Vermont: 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 (or both), you are required to tell Social Security about changes in your life by the 10th day of the month after the change happened. Failure to do so could result in an overpayment. If this change occurred in the past, you may wish to speak with a legal representative.

This tool helps you report changes to Social Security, including:

• Update to personal information including phone number, address
• Change in living arrangements
• Leaving the United States for more than 30 days in a row
• Receipt of arrrest warrant.
• Changes to your employment status, if you start or stop work, or if there is a change in pay or hours worked
• Changes to your resources including account balances or any money received
• Change in marital status
• School attendence if under age 22
• Change in citizenship or lawful noncitizen status

If you are a person with a disability, you must also report

• Improvement in medical condition
• Any change in your Ticket to Work status
• Any change in your work or Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) expenses

Report these changes promptly and no later than the tenth day of the month after they happen to get an accurate payment of benefits.

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.
