Social Security will establish an overpayment control record under the representative payee's Social Security number. Veterans must have been eligible for SSI in December 1999 and in the month they apply for the special benefits. These benefits can not be paid to the veteran's dependents or survivors. For more information about the new law, contact your local Social Security office. Individuals outside of the United States should contact any U.S. embassy or consulate, or Social Security's Division of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in Manila.
