avoid front-loading the call with off-topic messaging, and to use these emergency messages only for legitimate emergencies (as opposed to less
critical informational messaging).

You can claim a refund for the excess taxes that
were withheld when you file your personal income
tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. If
you're receiving Social Security benefits and
continue to work, these extra earnings may help
increase the amount of your benefits. We check
these additional earnings each year, and if they
raise your benefits, we'll notify you of the new
amount.

If you've recently submitted a change of name or
address, you should know that it takes
approximately three business days to change our
records. Social Security will send a confirmation
letter to your old address a few days after your
request. If you have your check mailed to you, it may
take three WEEKS from the date of your
confirmation letter to change your address on your
benefit check. If you requested that the change take
place as soon as possible, the notice and your
check may still go to your old address until we've
had a chance to update our records. Oh, and to
make sure you get all of your mail, don't forget to
contact the Post Office to register your change of

Here's the last part. The documents you'll need
depends on what you need to change and why. For
example, if you're correcting your date of birth, you
can show a birth certificate. If you're changing your
name, you'll need to show either a Marriage
document; a Divorce decree; a Certificate of
Naturalization showing a new name; or a Court
order for a name change. Your name change
document has to show both your old AND new
names. If it doesn't have enough identifying
information, you'll need to provide an identity
document with your old name (like a drivers' license
or passport) AND another one with your new legal
name, in addition to the name change document.
Note that we can only accept original documents,
but we'll return your documents after we've seen
them.

include, for example, your savings, investments and

in, vehicles, burial plots, or personal possessions.
However, there are income limits we will consider if
you decide to file for this help. Changes in the law
will make it easier for some people to qualify for
extra help. Social Security won't count the help you
receive with your household expenses as income, or
any life insurance policies, as a resource when
determining your eligibility. You may also be able to
get help with Medicare costs from your state under a
Medicare Savings Program. Applications for extra
help can initiate the application process for the
Medicare Savings Programs in your state. We'll
send your information to your state and they'll
contact you to help you apply for the Medicare
Savings Programs, unless you tell us not to.

When a beneficiary needs help managing their
Social Security or SSI benefits, we appoint a
Representative Payee for them. The payee can be a
relative or friend, or a nursing home or hospital. The
payee receives the monthly benefits and uses them
to pay for the beneficiary's needs. The payee must
keep accurate records of how the money is spent,
and report this to Social Security using the
Representative Payee Report form. The payee must
also report any changes to a beneficiary's situation
(like a change of address, medical condition, or
income). Finally, although someone may have
'power of attorney' to conduct business for a
beneficiary, the Social Security Administration does
not recognize 'power of attorney' for purposes of
managing a beneficiary's payments.

There are three ways someone can become a
representative payee: a payee may be appointed by
the Social Security Administration; a payee may be
requested by a beneficiary - whether they currently
have one or not - or someone who already has a
payee may become their own payee. When we find
that a beneficiary needs help managing their Social
Security or SSI benefits, we appoint a
Representative Payee for them. Appointed payees
must be interviewed in person, and complete a form
at a Social Security office. There, the appointed
payee will need their social security number, proof of
identification (like a driver's license), as well as the
name and contact information of the beneficiary's
doctor. If, on the other hand, a beneficiary wants to
obtain a payee, or wants to change their current
payee, the potential payee must be interviewed in
person, and complete a form at a Social Security
office. Again, the potential payee will need their
social security number, proof of identification, as well
as the name and contact information of the
beneficiary's doctor. In addition, although a potential
payee may have 'power of attorney,' Social Security
does not recognize 'power of attorney' for purposes
of managing benefit payments. Finally, if you want to
become your OWN payee, you need to show
evidence (a doctor's statement, for example) that
you're now able to handle your money yourself.

This module collects an address from a caller. This module is likely to be incorporated into a larger application. NOTE TO CUSTOMER: This
is a packaged application, and both the flow and code can not be altered as it is sold and delivered as a packaged piece of code. We will have
some flexibility in terms of prompt wording (within boundaries, as we don't want to change grammars) and there are some configurable
parameters that we can change from their defaults. Please keep this in mind as you review the document.

Sure, here's some more information. You can only
change your address if you're currently receiving
Social Security retirement, disability, or survivor
benefit payments. If you're NOT receiving benefits,
the Social Security Administration doesn't keep your
address on file (so even an agent can't do it). In this
case, to change the address where we send your
Social Security statements, you'll need to contact the
Internal Revenue Service. The easiest way to do
that is just enter your new address on your tax
return, but if you need to do it sooner, you can use
IRS form 8-8-2-2, which you can get by calling 1800-829-3676.

You can only set up direct deposit if you're already
receiving Social Security retirement, disability, or
survivor benefit payments. In other words, you can't
set them up in advance, even with the help of an
agent. Now, If you're finished, feel free to hang up.
Otherwise, hold on and I'll take you back to the Main

Developer Notes
Code must calculate the three specific months based on current date and SSA business practices.
The prompt MonthChoices is then the concatenation of the first and second month in medial inflection, and the third month in final inflection.
"One Step Correction" strategy should be available to the Caller (e.g., "No, February") -- This means both the collection grammar and the
confirmation grammar are active during the confirmation phase. (This can be done as a parallel grammar.)
The grammar that should be accepted includes "as soon as possible" (ASAP) and its synonyms, the three specific months calculated above, and
any additional months between the current month and the first of the calculated months. For example, if a call is received toward the end of
September, the valid months are October, November and December, but the grammar should include September, October, November,
December, and the ASAP synonyms, and September and October should be mapped the same as ASAP. The current month is not prompted,
but it should be recognized and handled the same as ASAP.
