Does anyone know if you can track something that was mailed to you?

Question

It is a check from the goverment..(ssi) and my mom did not get hers today like everyone else did so she called to the office and they said it had been sent but she is worried to death cause she has bills and that is her only income so can anyone at all tell me a place to track a check coming in the mail or if anyone has recieved a ssi check on a saturday?

Thanks

Answer 1

Depending upon the mailing method.

If a letter were mailed certified,with a delivery confirmation slip; or via ups or other package service it can be tracked.

Have you tried contacting your local post office? There is a UsPostal site that may have some answers for you. (usps.com)

You may also want to consult your local social security office or visit their website at ssa.gov for assistance.

Answer 2

The ONLY Place that would have that kind of information is the Social Security Office.

If they used a tracking number at all.

I have heard lately that alot of SSI checks have been delayed.

Contact YOUR local US Post Office and ask them. They might have an answer faster than Social Security would.

Answer 3

it will probably come tomorrow.

I know it is a little bit of a hassle but please convince your mother to open a bank account and sign up for direct deposit. She will be guaranteed to have the money exactly when she is supposed to and nobody can steal it from her mail box, it wont be misdelivered or held up by the post office.

It is more secure. It is faster. It is guaranteed.

Answer 4

It was probably delayed. For the future, why don't you help your mom set up automatic deposit into her checking account? She would get it faster than a check and it would never get lost.

Answer 5

call 311 if you in NY, maybe they have alternative number for that office.

Answer 6

they will re-issue and cancel the 1st check, but if she cashes both checks, it is fraud and they will take it from her and freeze the bank acct.
