Hold on SS

Our autistic son receives SS benefits through his dad’s account. He depends on this monthly check to pay his rent and buy groceries. Every thing was fine till this week when Bank of America put a 7 day HOLD on his check. Why would they do this out of the blue? Any Ideas???

Multiply your son's account with millions more. That financial float, by not paying the obligation, helps them fudge their numbers to investors.

We have an appointment at the bank tomorrow to discuss the issue. I’ll let you know their “excuse’. I’m more than pissed.

Someone in the family, w authority over Dad's account, should contact BoA directly, person to person.
