This is weird, did anybody else get this?
Hi there, I was awarded SSDI in July of 2024. Got my backpay a few weeks later. Ever since, I've been getting it monthly without a problem.
But last Wednesday, a direct deposit in a large amount from SSA was in my account. No idea why. And today, my usual amount was deposited. This is odd. Obviously, I'm not going on a shopping spree! I don't mess around with the feds haha. I figure I'll wait until this coming Weds, to give them a week to realize what happened and take it back if they need to, and then call them to see.
Has anybody else had large deposits years after approval? If so, what was it for? Just a glitch? Could it be correct? What do I say to them? Any input appreciated, this is just super weird 🤷
UPDATE: Well, apparently it's supposed to be there! It's a "one-time payment." For what? Nobody seems to know. But I have documentation that it is, for real, actually legitimate. Mind is a little blown right now. And I think it's weird that nobody can tell me if it's old backpay, COL, or what. Would the documentation have to state WHY it was deposited? Or is just their statement that it was a one-time payment enough, in the event they decide to try and do a clawback?
