I'll second the suggestion of checking with a financial advisor.

If you do decide to talk to SSA and make an appointment with the office, you'll be able to speak with a trained specialist. If you walk in the door, you'll get somebody who might be a specialist in SSI or veteran's benefits and just working the window today. More kinds of programs go on in an SSA office than most of us think, and they all have specialists who get lost outside their areas.

All bureaucrats work from a rule book. It's good to know that rulebook.

Good luck.
