have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but sometimes it works when nothing else does lol
Just went thru this last month. It's a nightmare but keep pushing. Took me 3 calls and 2 office visits but finally got it straightened out. Hang in there!
Oof, sounds rough. Glad you got it sorted though. Gives me hope!
have you tried reaching out to your local congressperson's office? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal issues like this. Might be worth a shot if SSA gives you the runaround
Man, the government doesn't make this easy, do they? It's like they want us to mess up so they can collect more fees. 🙄 Good luck OP, hope you get it sorted!
Hey OP, just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. Dealing with all this bureaucratic stuff while grieving must be tough. Remember to take care of yourself too, okay? 💖
Thank you, that means a lot. It's been a challenging time for sure.
Pro tip: If you're having trouble understanding the process, try visiting your local SSA office in person. The staff there can be really helpful in explaining things face-to-face.
Anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand all these rules and regulations? 🤯 Why do they gotta make it so complicated?

Hey OP, have you checked the SSA website for your application status? Sometimes they update it there before sending out letters.
