Social Security sent paperwork saying I was ineligible. A call, and not too much of a wait. Told I was definitely ineligible. I told him I have been receiving for the last thirty years, both disability incomes. Oh, he suggested, so you didn't inform SSA? Of course I did. Actually thought I'd lose the ss disability. On and on.
Finally he looked it up. Not ssi, but ssd... based on my earnings, not a charity income... or some such. So, for what I have been receiving my other income has no bearing. So why send this other? Formality, sir. Bullshit, they were just screwing with me. He knows it, I know it.
Before that, a call about the paperwork. I gave them razzes about sending paperwork with such a short expiry. She said she was happy to extend the deadline. Again, they are just screwing with me. I made sure she noted that both were being sent today. I asked about the other issue. Not her area. Nor a number given. I figured it out, after trying several numbers throughout the several letters (in the same packet).
I'm not grumpy as a rule. What did Gandalf say to Frodo about testing him? Right.
Right.
SS can be a bit hardheaded. My mom was suffering from Dementia, didn't remember anything, couldn't walk anymore, couldn't write. They wanted her to come in and sign something. I said I had power of attorney and that she couldn't come in. They insisted she come in. I said .. oh well, I guess a signature won't happen then. I don't think it was that important. (foam)
ReplyDeleteAh. Yeah. And then you hear about the people who continually inform them that their parent (s) have passed, only to have them reinstate, leading to temptations. Thankfully, generally, bureaucrats only have some power, if it corrupts as much as it can.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have bought a house on my single income, far too tight. Down ten grand, so far. And this is the second time in two years they have stopped it, always while away visiting my mother. The stoppages were targeted. They think I don't know? It's because I think their union (whose union members spend taxpaid hours spying on citizens who are pro Trump and/or anti-union for mistreatment. Possibly against vets too. Unions are altogether evil, especially public sector.)
