A:
To modify the suggested benefit amount for your husband's SSI benefits, you'll need to provide evidence to the Social Security Administration showing why the current amount needs adjustment. This could include documents about changes in income, living arrangements, medical conditions, or other factors that affect benefit calculations.
The best way to start this process is by contacting your local Social Security office directly. You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-772-1213 or visiting the SSI website to find your nearest office. Remember to gather all relevant documentation before your appointment to help support your case for an adjustment.
When you meet with Social Security, they will review your husband's current situation and any new information you provide. If approved, changes to the benefit amount typically take effect the following month. Keep in mind that you have the right to appeal their decision if you disagree with the outcome. You may want to consider bringing someone with you to help take notes and remember important details during these discussions.
