Address the letter to Supervisor. Explain briefly what has gone on
with the case. Try to keep the message to only one page.
You are not alone. I had the same problem with the local office and
my daughter's backpay and status. Hope this helps.

It took over eight months from the date of my fully favorable bench
decision (the judge's written decision was issued two days later) to
get my back pay, with one person after another claiming my case
"fell through the cracks". Paying a lawyer and joint claims (to repay
any previous SSI that was received) can add weeks or even months
to the process.
Bottom line is, the payment center like everyone else in the SSA is
overwhelmed by their caseloads. The payment center rep said she
had a stack of cases a foot and a half high waiting to be finished,
and she also claimed cases which get "bumped" for one reason or
another (e.g. letters from elected officials on behalf of a claim) can
actually *lengthen* the amount of time it takes. I'm not trying to
discourage anyone, only saying you might need to keep harrassing
the payment center to get anywhere.
