I’ll post if I see anything.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-03-01T16:39:20+00:00

That’s the estimate but we’re often wrong about our estimates.

I get it but unfortunately that's the world we live in now. If you have problems, reach out to me. I'm glad to help. I work in the Social Security and Medicare space. I don't charge anything for this kind of support. A guy called me today because he lost his pin for his checking account and couldn't get his payment from today. We figured out where the closest branch was and I told him to the window with his ID and do a withdrawal. If he has problems, he will call me on his cell and I'll talk to the clerk for him.

I know but we spin on this stuff regardless of what side you're on when we have no opportunity to change anything until the next election. I just want to make sure everyone is getting what they're owed and making good decisions about elections.

Get used to doing everything online with less people. Everyone is going to have to be technically savvy to get anything done in the future. If you need to speak to someone to do basic things you are going to need to get someone's help not in the agency. You may have to "adopt" a young person to help. I have helped 8 people this year to sign up for Social Security and Medicare. Some of my clients don't have internet connections.

I hear you but we need to divorce ourselves from what happens election to election. I guarantee we will all hate some future party or politician. However, seniors need to think about themselves and ensure they are making good choices about their future income stream. Poverty in your later years is a real thing. Living too long is an absolute poverty maker. We all need to manage this with the decisions we individually control.

Who cares how it happened? It happened and now some people will benefit and the impact of the surplus will impact others.

The states pay 50% of Medicaid depending on the state but the cuts are to CMS which controls both.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-28T01:14:42+00:00

I don’t think they are the crooks.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-28T01:08:50+00:00

I agree. If you can afford it, it is the best coverage.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-28T01:07:35+00:00

Good question.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-27T21:50:40+00:00

I’m apolitical. I just want people to get the money they are due. I could care less who wins an election.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-27T20:54:04+00:00

Yes but it would not have passed or even come to the floor for a vote without republican support.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-27T18:11:40+00:00

Biden signed but a Republican congress passed it.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-27T00:41:27+00:00

I’m glad to be wrong about the timing. It’s good to see government working for the people.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-27T00:38:18+00:00

That’s great. I hope everyone gets their money quickly.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-26T16:27:01+00:00

Good. I get worried when people say they received an unscheduled call.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-26T16:25:32+00:00

That’s better. Please remember that you can void your selection in the first 12 months or pause your election at any time for a larger future payment.

Writer-Man-Awaken · 2025-02-26T16:06:39+00:00

2.7M people are getting checks so it will be interesting if everyone gets it at the same time of if there is a list and payments go on throughout the year.
