Pastdue SSDI benefits on hold due to windfall?  What happens when you have a dire need and still can't any information other than I don't owe any SSI and it's processing for 2 months

It sounds like you're in a difficult situation with your SSDI benefits being held up possibly due to a windfall offset determination, especially when you have urgent financial needs. The "windfall offset" typically happens when you're eligible for both SSI and SSDI payments for the same period, and SSA needs to calculate the correct amounts to avoid overpayment. When you're in dire need, there are a few options to consider: - Contact your local SSA office and specifically request an "immediate payment" or "critical payment" due to dire need - Ask to speak with a supervisor if regular representatives aren't being helpful - Provide documentation of your urgent financial situation (eviction notices, utility shutoffs, medical emergencies) - Request a status update on your case through your my Social Security account online Two months of processing for a windfall determination is unfortunately not unusual, but your dire need should expedite things. If you've been told you don't owe any SSI, that's actually positive news as it suggests they're working through the calculations. You might also consider contacting your congressional representative's office, as they often have liaisons who can help constituents with federal benefit issues and sometimes get faster responses than individuals can.
