A: Regaining your rights at the federal level after having a payee on SSI can be a complex process, but it is possible. Since you have not had a payee for the last nine years and have no criminal record or history of being committed, you might be able to have your rights restored.

First, gather any documentation that shows you no longer have a payee and that you manage your own finances. This includes letters from the Social Security Administration and any other relevant documents.

Next, you may need to contact a lawyer or legal aid organization in Idaho for guidance on how to proceed. They can help you understand the specific steps required in your state and ensure you follow the correct legal process.

Lastly, be prepared to provide any evidence that demonstrates your ability to manage your own affairs, such as letters from medical professionals or other trusted individuals. This documentation will support your case when you present it to the relevant authorities.
