Hi all1
So recently, I've been trying to get out to the Hatlen center. It's up in San Francisco. I applied, I sent out everything I needed too, the only thing left for me to do is send out my medical release. As some of you might know, I'm on dialysis and so the hatlen center need my medical records along with other various things having to do with this. The problem is, nobody is willing to help me finish this stuff up. What's left to do is, change my ssi so that it is under my name. My parents won't help me do that because they aren't trying to let me go in the first place. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could go about fixing this? I'm not sure if explaining the situation to Ssi would help and I'm not trying to cause problems in my house but I do need help. Any ideas?
Call social security and explain your problem.
After that you'll get an appointment with your local office.
Book a ride and they'll help you do the rest.
amen brother wayne. call your s s i office. if you need additional help get in touch with your stat's department of blind services. what is the hatlen? is it a school?
Yes, definitely get your SSI switched to be in your name.
If you are over the age of eighteen, there is absolutely no reason why your SSI payments should be in your parents name. Contact Social Security and tell them you want your checks to be deposited in your own bank account and not your parents. However, if you choose to live with your parents, I do believe you are required to pay your parents rent for living there as would be the same no matter where you chose to live. I hope this information helps you, and that the process for switching things over to your own account is not too terribly difficult.
It sounds like a control issue, Iwas dealing with it for years, I know from personal experience, that it can get worse. Call adult services to help you because if they are stopping you from just going to school, trying to move out will get nasty. You will have to get the police involved. I did, sometimes you have to take that step to be happy and your family might hate you for it but if they choose not to come around its their loss. Lol, I am going on about my situation just saying do something about it now don't let it go on for years, that was my mistake.
I've also been in a similar situation as the OP/the last poster, and getting out/getting things changed into your name probably won't be easy, but definitely needs to be done.
so, great advice, last poster.
