My SSI retroactive check was sent to Revenue & Recovery to pay my General Relief account. Why am I still receiving a bill?
When Social Security sends a retroactive check to Revenue and Recovery, we are required to keep the portion of the check for the period that you received General Relief from the County. For example, if you were on General Relief in January 1999 through March 1999, and your SSI retroactive check covered benefits for March 1999 through July 1999, Revenue and Recovery would keep the funds for March. It is the only month that you were on General Relief and were eligible for SSI benefits. You may be receiving a bill because you may have been on General Relief prior to your SSI eligibility period and, therefore, your retroactive check was insufficient to reimburse the County for the full period that you were on General Relief. SSI retroactive funds received for months that you were not on General Relief with the County will be refunded to you.
