Ssi Account Misuse Consequences

Summary

If a parent or guardian misuses your SSI account, report it to the Social Security Administration (SSA) immediately. Gather evidence of misuse and consider changing your representative payee. If you were unaware of the misuse, inform the SSA as soon as you find out. The SSA will investigate, and your benefits may not be terminated if you can prove it wasnt your fault and you took corrective actions.
