Is There Any Way To Get My Case Out Of Payment Center Backlog?

I won my appeal in Nov. I have been trying to get my widows benefits, I am told they are backlogged is there anyway to get out of payment center backlog?

Hi,

I'm not sure what your best course of action might be without more specific information on your situation. Sometimes it helps to keep contacting Social Security on a regular basis, but not always. You may also want to try contacting the office of either your congressional representative or one of your senators to see if they would make an inquiry on your behalf.

Best, Jerry
