Received a large sum back payment two months ago but no letter.

I receive SSDI and back in August I received a lump sum payment of $6,460 from SSA TREAS 310. I waited a month to spend it in case it was a mistake or if a letter came but no letters ever came saying if it was a back payment or if it was back pay.

Rent came due and I had to dip into the money I was sent to help pay rent, buy groceries, clothes for work, etc. I just checked my payment history and the large payment that was listed before is now gone. I have received other large back payments as well and those payments aren't in my payment history either.

I checked my overpayments to make sure I wasn't overpaid but there is nothing listed there. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?

Good Morning,
Start an ABLE trust fund (google it)if she qualifies.
