Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Strange Events
I was expecting my work check to hit the bank Tuesday, so I called the 1-800 number to find out if it had gone through and got the shock of my life. Over $10,000 had been added to the account via direct deposit. I woke Rob up and said, it has to be a mistake, we have to correct it before we have to pay it back. Rob agreed and we roused up the gang from the mystery bus (Scooby Do, IIRC) and took off to the bank. They couldn't tell us anything, so we were very cautious about the cash. Today, while I was at work, Rob called the bank and found out that the money came from the Social Security Disability Insurance that we applied for. Now we have to find out if it is a one time pay off, or if it was making up back payments for us. Anyway, I'm writing this on an HP pavilion a810n with a flat screen monitor, and the same printer that I've been using. As you may recall, the computer that I was using and I hated each other. Charles wants it, to cannibalize for parts, so I gladly gave it to him, not knowing that Rob didn't save my address book and saved email. We also replaced Mandy's computer (my old 8.5g Packard Bell) and bought Rob and Mike computers. $4,000 later, we are set up. The rest of the money has either been used to pay bills, or is in an emergency account. We're hoping for an explanation letter soon.

Pam S. >> <SNIP> >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Pam S. Nonsense! But I do hope the money is yours and that it's not a lump sum benefit. You and Rob need the break from all the crap you've been dealing with! Purrs on the way that the deposit is not a fluke. The whole SSD system is nuts. I called my "case worker" yesterday morning to ask if there is any further information she needs from me, or from my doctor, or do they want me to see their doctors? I haven't called for several weeks but you'd think I was bugging her daily by her reaction. She's nothing short of rude. Jill > Nonsense!

Consider it a part of the "Pay it Forward" movement. I've gotten a lot of help when we were having problems to no end. It's time to help out someone else for a change. Rob's case worker called today. The payment was not a fluke, it was back pay to the date we applied for his benefits. We'll start getting a monthly check as of Feb. 3. It will help make up some of the deficit from a couple of years without enough income to beat the outflow. May I suggest that you call your congressman and sic him onto SSDI? They don't want a congressman questioning them. BTW can you email me with your snail addy? I'm at tanada@earthlink.net and I do want to spread the help I got. It won't be as much as I'd like to send, but every little bit helps. Pam S. > May I suggest that you call your congressman and sic him onto SSDI? > They don't want a congressman questioning them. I sent him email; he wasn't in his office (probably in Washington). My congressman is a licensed physician which might just help with my plight! > BTW can you email me with your snail addy?

Enjoy it and here's hoping it's not a one-off. :) Helen M Aw, Pam, you all finally get a break; you certainly deserve it!

It helped, I guess, when she was able to tell them, when they inquired of my whereabouts, that I was in the hospital and not expected to live. She invited them to call me, and though they may have checked, they didn't contact me there. Purrs that all your problems from now on will be little ones! Regards and Purrs, O J (Old John) Gritmon When my SSDI was approved, the check came several days before the explanation. It was for the monthly benefit from six months after the date of disability to the current month. It should have been direct deposit but that took a while to arrange. They don't make other lump sum payments. Ain't it grand? Love you guys.

Rob's case worker called today and confirmed that Rob will be receiving a monthly check now, and it was a back payment. I can take the congressman's phone number off the speed dial. Tomorrow, I have to have Mandy handy as they need to interview her over the phone. It seems that she gets a payment as well for being under the age of 19. I, however, don't get any of my own money, but I can spend Rob's. Actually, it is nice to be able to know that I can go to the commissary, buy up supplies and know I won't be running out before the month is out. Pam S. still working on getting over weirded out relief overload That's wonderful, and you do so deserve this! Best wishes, SignaturePolonca & Soncek > Thanks.
