This if for those of you who were being unjustly treated by the SS by having your benefits reduced or stopped. Appeal as far as you can. You may remember that I had a similar problem, having been told by SS that I had been overpaid and that I had to pay thenm back several thousand dollars. After first writing a letter and then going to the SS office, I finally received a letter that informed me that, even though I didn't take my retirement (which was very small) I was supposed to report my eligibility for it at the time I retired and thus get less social security. Therefore, I owed them the money I had been paid all that time. Today I got a strange letter, and yesterday unexpected money had been deposited into my checking account. The letter from SS said that I had been underpaid several thousand dollars, and that after the amount I had overpaid had been deducted from that, I received about $700, and my monthly would henceforth be slightly larger than it had been. I do not understand at all. About all I can figure is that maybe they miscalculated how much I was allowed in the first place. I'm sure glad I didn't write a check for the amount I was supposed to pay them but was going to have them deduct from my monthly payment. I don't know if you all will have a positive result, but you know the saying about a squeaky wheel, and just fight for what you deserve. Maybe you'll get it--or even get more. smile Cindy R __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
