I walked in the Bloomington,IN SSA building going into my 2nd claim filling, a man in a wheelchair that had to type using a pencil w/ his working hand, was always rude to me, until my 3rd filing.He had a woman standing behind him,I guess to be sure he was being properly mannered. That filing was approved but,http://www.2Keller.com found out all professionals that treated me held back important information, unless they were paid $50 per report. They were paid & I was approved, with an apology from the SSA but, I was stuck with SSI due to so much time since my 1st filing.

I'm on 3 medications & checked by the BMV every 3 years.

I am retired with SSA payment made direct to my checking accoount. I hiave medicare plan D deducted from payment before it is sent to my checking account. However I do not know either the gross total of my payment not the amount paid to Medicare. How do I learn these numbers?

It is not as easy as this article suggests to establish an online account. I made repeated attempts to do so today, and failed. I called the SS number at the web page, and spent about 20 minutes with them on the phone, no ceegar, the rep said I would have to go to my local social security office. That's a "no way" as the last time I was there, to get a duplicate SS card, there was a LONG LONG LONG wait.

Why not? Seniors are confused now about the SSA system. Why not confuse them more? This may be to difficult for them to handle. SSA is forcing seniors to direct deposit. SSA requires too much personnal information. The SSA isn't going to save that much. With all the waste in government, does this little bit mean so much to them? They didn't even notify where to look online.
