Terrible, not to mention money for immigrants

​@@user-pb1ic7pi9cYOU MEAN ILLEGAL INVADERS?

and now 100 billion to Israel.......the skim goes on.

@@johnk-ht4yj last I saw it was 14 billion

@@user-pb1ic7pi9c Excuse me. It's for ILLEGAL immigrants.

​@YunUddinI blame the people who enabled the politicians to create a monster of welfare to ensnare and trap many in the society to depend on govt.

This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

Its unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $287k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

The advisor that guides me is Vivian Carol Gioia, most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name. She's established.

Exactly

They get paid good but they do lousy job.

When I received my back award, my state took two-thirds of it to pay back for the basic welfare benefit I received during the certification process. Unpaid medical bills and a cremation plan took the rest.

The case is CLARK v. Astrue. Over five million sick and disabled recipient were sent letters demanding we report to social security in our state. As you showed up at the federal building in your city and state you were arrested. Innocent men women and children were thrown in the back of vans and on buses and taken to jail as socalled fleeing felon. We lost our benefit and were told we had to pay back tens of thousands of dollars. We filed a class action lawsuit. Social security administration was supposed to reimburse us. But most of us are still being forced to pay back our lawful benefits even now.

Stop voting Republican!! They want to take away your SS and Medicare!

If they overpaid you 20k. You know it but you keep it ?

@@ricardojigashi8100 These people get overpaid a few hundred a month for years that's how it adds up without the recipient knowing they are being overpaid. They turn in all the correct paperwork but SSA isn't keeping up on the paperwork on their end. It can take years for them to catch the mistake. The other thing is when you are awarded SS especially disability they back pay from date of applying. The subtract 5 months which they say is a reasonable time frame to process your claim but it never takes only 5 months. They pay all of it at one time and the recipient thinks that SSA did their paperwork and got the numbers right with the info they or the lawyer for them submitted plus SSA can look up your tax info and see how much you've paid into and see what you should be getting. If SSA got it wrong they overpay. These are a couple ways someone is overpaid 20K and not know it. Did you watch the 60 Mins episode? If you havn't check it out they go into details on how this happened and what's going on.

I never once had any issues with Social Security or Medicare but looks like there’s some people who somehow receive an incorrect amount.

Governments are inherently evil and want complete power over the people which is why we have a constitution. The same Constitution that most of our government now wants to destroy and is always calling us a democracy instead of a constitutional republic! And most people in this country are too stupid and uneducated to recognize the difference.

Yes, u know they will alwawant it back!!

Always return the money that you are not supposed to get from the SSA as soon as possible and keep precise record of the repayment. If an SSA worker informs you that it "could be" additional payment for your having been paid less than the correct amount in the past, do not take their words for it. Ask them to give you a document confirming that to be the case. If they refuse to give you documentary confirmation, just return the money in spite of their unconfirmed verbal explanation of the overpayment. Chances are the SSA will ask you to return the overpayment later with the threat of terminating all payments from the SSA and all medical benefits if you fail to pay back the overpayment.

@@simon6071 They’re not gonna stop anything. All they’ll do is take it out your monthly check 😂 people are too overly dramatic

@@BlakWiseCracker I am talking from my personal experience of helping someone in that exact situation. Yes, they did threaten to take away the payments and benefits of an old and disabled person after her husband died even after the repayment for the overpayment to her deceased husband was made promptly. They did so by claiming the person owed the SSA money that has not been repaid even after the repayment was made months ago. They even made that false claim four time in a few months so I had to take the old and disabled person to the SSA office four times to disprove their false claim. Fortunately, I have made a precise record of the repayment and proved that their claim to be false every time. The last time I demanded to have an official hearing with the the supervisor in the office. The supervisor ended up asking me not to call for an official hearing by admitting that they made a mistake and promised that it will not happen again to that person. That's why I advise people to make precise record of their repayments. You are being ignorant to say that I'm being overly dramatic when the real situation was worse than that I described in my first reply.

😂 buy , buy , but n by 😂

Clark v. Astrue. Look it up. They are still making us pay back lawful benefits. We were not and are not fleeing felon. That's the lie they are using.

After appling for both first ?

Simple don’t cash it or take it and mail it back certified mail and keep it moving. Simple!

@@BlakWiseCracker Ahhh, you just don't get it, do you? You are still responsible for it. Mailing _certified mail_ to the *government* ?!?!? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 *Treasury Department* ?!?!? 😂🤣😂🤣

You applied and waited for tour disability for months a year then asking for it to be payed back that's wrong are illegal immigrants and Ukraine being done the same thing??

Same here, I got a letter that said I had to pay back a large sum and they will just take it out of your benefits. When I appealed it , they said, you should have known 😳very helpful 🙄🙄

That's F*** up !!!

Heard from another U-T er stating , the amount w/o penalty will rise (like cola) in 2024 ... but so will the penalties ? The "conditional" change as remembered (ron yates?) ... basically , the amount increased 1,200.00 but penalties when from 2/3 claw back to all . With no interruption of the word "all". There's a potential trap in the making , you decide ?

Problem is who do you sue? Don’t vote democrats

The scammers are the wall climbers 🧗‍♀️

@@BlakWiseCracker I agree

That doesn't help...BELIEVE THAT!

How will people know the actual amount if it’s for 2-3 years of payments. You expect for SS to know, you know the ones with the big computers and calculators. Citizens don’t know what they’re being charged for smh 🤦‍♂️

How about SS sending the correct amount in the first place? The recipient does not know the correct amount. SS tells the recipient the amount that they will receive and pays that amount. Then finds out that the amount wasn't correct. How many private companies, banks do you think make errors like this REGULARLY. Not many if they are still in business.

Unless you got the money 5 years ago and and it's been spent because you thought it was yours. Or you invested it it's not in your account anymore, then you get a huge overdraft? That makes no sense.

Unfortunately, not paying it back leads to waaaay more debilitating consequences.

They just stop your social security you not a smart person ?

@@ricardojigashi8100They don’t stop nothing!! They just take out your monthly check. What a bunch a baffling bafoons.

How is that even possible? You must have worked as a municipal worker or government worker and be drawing a Municipal pension. I’ve never heard of such a low number as $440.00

I think it was thieving trump

If someone gets a huge check like that...double what they were expecting, it's on them if they foolishly spend it.

That person got what was supposed to be his back pay, if you had listened, he didn't cash it, he took both the check and the letter to that woman to help him figure it out, people ain't as stupid as you think they are just because their getting their disability and have probably worked for it, longer than you've been alive.

You are very welcome. Once we consistently audit all the high earnrers, we will have more tax revenue to help seniors. Under rump, audits of millionaires dropped 75%., audits of lower income filers only dropped 33%. That is not fair, and it certainly did not maxcimize the money brought into the treasury. So unless you are a millionaire, you should love that plan that gets more agents auditng the fat cats. Courtesy of common sense and the Democrats.

Then the illegals need to give back everything that’s been given to them or go back to where they came from.

Exactly Right! Well stated

Social Security is wrong!’ They miscalculated people’s retirement or disability payments. Then come back months or years later telling 70, 80+ year olds that they owe back money 😂 I tell you inbreeding should be illegal backwards Bama people.

I pray you both experience the same from your government...rewarding incompetence..

Is social security taking $1000 per month? Surely not $ 10,000 dollars per month 😳 “otherwise you don’t need social security.

U can't get Medicare for 2 yrs after SS so not sure what you're talking about

@@SundayCookingRemix it's clear that you don't know what you're talking about. He got SSDI.... DISABILITY. Medicare is also for people under 65 with disabilities. You can't be on Medicaid and Medicare at the same time.

In some states you can have both medicaid and medicare (California is one).
