If you experience missed SSI payments, it is possible to follow these steps to obtain a speedy replacement payment. First, notify the Social Security Administration and they will send a claims form to be filled out. The form serves two purposes: to validate information and to verify the check is going to the right person. Once Social Security Administration has been notified, personnel will either mail a check to the residence of the recipient, or they will direct deposit the check into a checking, savings, or the government account of the recipient. If SSI can verify that the check was issued, it will be necessary to call the Social Security Administration office on a business day. The Monday after the check was mailed, SSI will issue a replacement check, which will arrive about in 7-10 business days.
