Okay, this post is about my adventures with Social Security.
Here's the scoreboard of the pile of letters from the above:
1. I am entitled to SSI (supplimental income) payments of $66.50, starting in Feburary (which said payment was supposed to begin in March)...and also telling me that I am entitled to Social Security Disability payments of 761 dollars per month, beginning in March (which I never got due to a computer glitch that said my account was suspended--even tho' it wasn't)
2. I was not entitled to SSI payments for March, and they want their money back--NOW.
(Followig this letter, I went to try and pay back said payment, and they refused to take it, saying that I was indeed entitled to payments in March.)
3. Antoher letter, saying that I was entitled to SSI payments in January, to the tune of $258.
4. Another letter, once again stating that I was NOT entitled to SSI payments in March, and that they would take it from my April (May) SSD payment.
5. A letter stating that my SSD payments (the one's that were supposed to start in March) would FINALLY begin in April (arriving in May), and have been reduced to $731 dollars.
6. A letter stating that I would be entitled, beginning in May OR June, to $13 dollars in SSI payments per month.
7. A letter stating (that, as usual, came 4 days after I got the cheque), that I was entitled to SSD payments from Jan. to April of 2007, to the tune of $2,197.50--which is REALLY confusing, because I did, in fact, get SSD payments last year, for Jan. to March....what's with that?
No explainations, of course. God forbid that Bush's ultra neo-conservative government should actually have to explain themselves!
Are we dizzy yet???
I would love to change my citizenship to another country, but is there any democratic nation left, with ANY semblance of sanity???

Social Security is run by morons, except for the woman who did Peter's fathers death benefits. She was wonderful.
