I don't know the answer to this and I'm not sure you will find a lawyer who does, unless by pure chance. It's not the kind of thing people generally hire lawyers to deal with, so unless you happen to come across one who has dealt with it personally, we are probably not going to know. I suggest you just call the Social Security Administration, if you can't find the answer on their website.
