Legal Question in Social Security Law in Florida

Hi, I was supposed to get social security money in the mail because my father is on S.S. benefits. I don't live with him. He had the money deposited into his bank account instead of having it sent to me. Will I ever see the money that was supposed to go to me? I already made a claim to the social security department but nothing has happened since.

Thank you!
