Hold on SS
Our autistic son receives SS benefits through his dads 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.

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