you can get with social security and make someone else the payee or just open yourself a bank acct and the money is yours
Currently 18 Mom (also my payee) steals my SSI checks and foodstamps No one believes me because she lies and say I'm crazy/hallucinating, etc. When i try to reach out for help?
Damn thats messed up what is wrong with your mother? Who the heck says that anyway. Sorry about your situation.

You've been told you would be put on hold for 5 hours, have you actually tried to call? I can't imagine anyone holding for 5 hours so you should give it a try and find out for yourself.
