    Myself and a few others that have called me to see if I could help them have not gotten our checks. I get mostly SSA and a small SSI check automatically deposited for quite some time. Who do I talk to about not getting my check? Who do I tell the others to contact? we keep hearing deadlines in deposit dates and we still have not gotten checks what do we do
