Imagine how much she has lost financially, experiencially and educationally over the years because of the inability to easily prove she is alive.. I hope when they fix it they reimburse her every penny and that she gets a great lawyer to tabulate expenses incurred as a direct result of this “mistake”.
Even one single case of this is unacceptable. I read on another article that there are anywhere from 7,000-12,000 cases of this same thing happening each year. Yet they claim their records are “highly accurate” and boil it down to a small percentage. When it’s something that has such immense and far reaching implications in someone’s life it doesn’t really matter how small a percentage there is of these mistakes. It’s something that needs to be swiftly remedied, or have better checks in place to prevent this from occurring at all. How awful.
Unbelievable!!! How many lives have been ruined?
With that hair it's kinda understandable.
If it was me I’d find a social security office and haunt the place…🥹
I would write the president of my concerns
Or even contact your state representative
This is crazy.She needs to get a good lawyer and sue social security.
Maybe she should go to the SSA, and talk to a representative.
They sad she going through it. She should go to society security so that can see her and fix the problem so she get her life back
Way to look a gift horse in the mouth, no ssn = no taxes
