SSI is a federal program so you call 1-800-772-1213
If it has been less than a week overdo they will look it up to be sure it was issued.
If is was you have to wait until it is 7 days past due and call again.
If they forgot to send it to you for some reason they will send it to you immediately.
Dale J - you a a pitiful excuse for a human being. SSI is a benefit paid to people who most often have been disabled since birth and have never worked because there is no workplace that will provide adequate accommodations so a person can work. No one I know likes living on SSI - it is not enough money to make living on it easy. And just so you know - I do work and do not receive SSI.
You should be glad we care for people who are unable to support them self - you could be in that situation some day. I am sure you do not want to starve.

I agree with Chili, wait till it is a week past due. I also agree with Chili's comment to Dale. It's that kind of ignorance that does not allow us to get the benefits we deserve. I have been on SSI since I was 18 because I have a birth defect that prevents me from holding a normal job, and while I am getting help in finding a job, it helps to have the extra cash in case it doesn't work out. Birth defects never go away, but stupidity and ignorance eventually do.

I am with Chili with this one.
I am too am disabled dues to my disability since birth. I am not talking just one, I have several. If anybody want to call me a bum, well tell you the truth I have tried attempting to join Army (my way of ending my life) but failed dues to may disability. My principal in high school predicted that I going to be a bum living in cardboard box. My friend treat me as the bottom level of the pottem pole. My dad and mom is divorced when I was seven.
I guess my one way ticket from Earth have be another way. IT is not going to be suicide because it have to be honorable.

I don't know who dreamed up the idea of SSI but it's the biggest scam ever put forth by Congress. I worked for years and paid into Social Security for my retirement and some idiot politicians tapped into my retirement to pay misfits who will not work.
If you don't work, you don't deserve to eat.
I couldn't help but respond to chiliswo and lilsda. The business district in my small home town has been converted from closed business to HUD. the residents there receive HUD, SSI, free medical, food stamps etc. They feign inability to work but live off my retirement. They rent their food stamp card for cash to buy alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Those who don't rent their card, buy groceries with it and resell the groceries for 50 cents on the dollar to buy tobacco, alcohol and drugs.. I can provide proof that this exists in the town of Gauley Bridge WV.
I'm sick of deadbeats.
I could tell you about "Big Ann", "Mona" "Howie", and others here who are perfectly able to work but instead get SSI. You need to see the assistant manager of the local Burger King. She has one leg off above the knee but works circles around the other help although she's in a wheel chair. She's also working at Walmart, has a working husband and two kids. then there's Frank, confined to a wheelchair from his teen years and recently retired from a drafting job.
Don't hand me this crap, you have a birth defect that prevents you from working. It doesn't seem to affect your ability to use a computer. If you can use a computer with your birth defect, then you can damn well work.
