AMN008 SSI OFFSET APPLIED (A58)

(Requested)

Caption: Your Benefits

In an earlier letter, we told you we were withholding  (1)  Social Security benefits for  (2)  . We did this because we thought we might have to reduce  (3)  Social Security benefits if  (4)  also received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) money for this period.

Now we are writing to let you know that we cannot pay  (5)   (6)  of the Social Security benefits we withheld. This is because  (7)  received SSI money for  (8)  .

When you receive SSI money for a month, and later you receive Social Security benefits, we sometimes have to reduce your Social Security benefits. We do this to make sure that your total SSI and Social Security monthly payment is not more than it would have been if the Social Security benefits had been paid on time.

Allowing for  (9)  Social Security benefits, we should have paid  (10)   (11)  less in SSI money. Because of this, we are reducing  (12)  Social Security benefits by  (13)  .  (14)
