Elizabeth, this isn't my field, and I don't know your particulars, but before you give up, go to the Senior Section of your telephone directory. There should be referrals up to and including an ombudsman and the ACLU! Be patient. We have a number of experts on the list who should be checking in pretty soon. Good hunting! E of the headdress - Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone on this list knows if the checks you get from Social Security are on file at their office. I am being charged with a bill saying that I was overpaid $2,830 this past year. I know this is not possible and have argued this with them but to no avail. I wonder if it is possible they would have a record on film of the canceled checks they say they sent me. Does anyone know if that is something I can find out? We always have to prove payment with canceled checks. Most likely, I can't fight city hall. Thanks so much for any help.
