Go to your nearest Social Security office. Be patient as you may have to wait in line, but you should find them to be helpful and knowledgeable. Take a pad and pen to take notes, and don't forget to note the name of agent you talk to and ask if there is a number that you can reach him/her later.

If you find it difficult to get there, look for a telephone number on any of your communications. Or you could write a letter. Social Security has many rules and regulations, and are very experienced in applying them.
it is difficult to give any advice on situations that deal with Social Security Benefits as almost no two cases are alike - similar maybe - but just one item can change the whole answer.
That is the reason it is recommended that you visit your local SS office so you know you are getting the correct information/answers.
There are several questions you will probably have to answer:
1. Are you still in school?
2. Who is receiving your benefit check now?
And are they supplying you a place to live and food?
3. Is the dependent your child and who is caring and providing for this child now?
Be sure to carry any papers that may be relevant to the situation.
SS number for yourself, the dependent, and the person that your benefits are from.
You may also need proof of residence if different from the address where the check is now going.
Social Security will insist you make an apppintment. Make sure you have a copy of the death certificate and identification for yourself. You Will also need proof that you have a dependent. Get all papers in order or you will have to go back.
