It depends on what age they consider you to be dependent and things like that. If you have mental issues or things that the SS determined you are to be under your aunt's care.
It doesn't hurt to contact them and ask them procedure for switching to your account.

Can I just go to the SS building without a pointment and just tell them that. And ask if their can send my money to my Credit Card

You can go to their offices anytime they are open. You do not need an appointment to speak with someone there. They will tell you what you can and cannot do and who you have to bring with you the next time you visit to complete the process you wish to have done.

Thank you very much. The problem is that all the time I tell her to give me the money so I can get something she make a big problem over nothing because the money is not her's. So I'm telling her to give me my money and she don't want to. But I'm going to the SS Building to she what they say thanks a lot, and one more thing when I go up their I need to get a hearing ticket I believe because its like a machine in the 3 floor and it ask you why are you coming her for and you have to pick a Category that's example the reason you coming her for. And my Father coming with me he's very upset about this so you think that if they can't do the direct deposit right there because my aunt not there my father can like take it from her and put his name under it but he lets them put my check directly to my bank account ?

Why has your aunt been in control of this so far? Why not your father?

Carmac · May 31, 2009, 11:01 AM

Because of my mother because my mother had it but then my aunt took it and I don't know why. And my father always tell my mom to take it away from her and give it to me and nobody don't listen. And my Aunt is like the crazy one in the family so I don't know if people are scared of her but I'm not. And my father don't leave with me since like 9 or 10 years I just start telling him what's happen with my money.

Explain this to the SS office. Since you are 18, I would think you would have rights regarding that money.

Carmac · May 31, 2009, 11:06 AM

I will thank you.

Do you know how much money you get each month? Is that money going for your care, clothing, food, video games, etc.

If not, what does your aunt do with this money?

Carmac · Jun 2, 2009, 12:34 PM

I think I get like $674 I don't know because I was getting only like $214 a month but now they switch it to $674 I think but I don't really know I'm going tomorrow to the SS Building with my father. But I'm going to see Tomorrow if I can get it or what ( I'm going with my Father ) and tell them that every time I ask for it it's a big problem and I want to get my SSI money on my own. Thanks to you guys and girls for helping me.
