How many Criminals Work in USA Government and Social Security

I was conatcted by a relative who received a weird letter from Social Secuity. They wrote they overpaid her 2023 monthly benefits. My wife who is an accountant looked at her electronic checking and saw that Social Security made one extra payment of just over $700. Odd.

So they are taking that money back but when we read the letter futher they go on to say that her monthly benefits into the future are being reduced by over $300 per month. That sentance was followed up by another which is quite ambigious as it leaves the door open for Social Security to keep her benefits at that lower rate to her 2019 benefits.

Add to it her last name is Jewish but she isnt Jewish.

We wonder whether this is a simple mistake or a srew job against the elderly as said person will have to hire a lawyer to appeal.

There are so many criminals that work in the government, it's ridiculous.

They have a lot of padding and insulation to do whatever they want... You have to disagree with their decision, draft and submit responses, go to court (in front of a judge that represents the government essentially - DEFINETLY not a conflict of interest, right?) and have them side with you, against their intentionally vague and open ended language that allows them to screw over people. Do it small scale, and they're more likely to get away with it.

As a guess, about half. Not that half of the government are criminals but half the criminals in the USA are in government in some way.

I worked for SSA for 4 years, and left mainly because of the type of people who make up nonsense like this. Your local office is severely understaffed and is getting yelled at all day. Any number of things could have triggered that overpayment, none of which you mention. You could have earned too much, started taking a pension from a non-contributing source without telling anyone, etc. It happens all the time. You're not special. Depending in the process, your SSA rep will have to jump through quite a few hoops for you. They manually send those letters out themselves, and usually not just the one. Imagine sending several letters, because people don't like to read and certainly can't comprehend. Did you file for a waiver? You can only get a waiver if it's not your fault AND you can't pay it back through benefit reductions or other means. There's a lot of paperwork involved with. Your rep has to manage that too. Now, imagine 50 of those a month, on top of soccer moms screaming at you because they didn't think they needed a valid driver's license to get a social security card, fights in the waiting area, and just all around trashy peolle all day long. I was making 78k/yr and took a 25% pay cut to leave, and have never been happier. But yeah, totally hire a lawyer lol. I can't imagine a bigger waste of money, but we did all love laughing about it. Lawyers are for disability appeals. Otherwise you're just paying someone to explain a letter to you. What does that say about you?
As far as criminals, no. I had a 4 hr interview with a special agent. I don't have a criminal record, but they weren't even happy about something on my credit report. That's not to say there aren't bad apples. Rude reps, occasionally someone somewhere will try to steal someone's benefits... if you can imagine going to jail for 10 years over a couple grand. But 99.99% of the people that work in your local office are basically being treated like lunching bags by the general public, just like yall are doing here! It's why you can't find labor lol. No one wants to deal with you. Also, a 600-700 overpayment is nothing. They can split that up between 36 payments without any additional paperwork. But you read the letter right? You already know that! Or maybe higher a later (or a 6th grader) to read it to you.
Oh God, how I miss the "a friend of a friend said this" crap lol. You can't even spell what you're complaining about. You have zero details, and just throw around insults and accusations. You sir, are litterally the definition of an idiot.

a reply to: Jhayesdvm

No, and no and no to all your questions. I get what you wrote about 6th grade readable english. My IQ is 88 perentile along with my three degrees.

So go ahead and crawl up me arse as I was invited into the See I Ehs watcher program decades ago after they offered me a position as Special Agent in any Agency of my choice. I still remain in contact with my POC to this day.

Half the stuff I was involved in I cant even post here as they would strip it off within 5 minutes. Thats probably 5 Threads. UNCLE

I can read the letter and its ambigious and NOT transparent. You are also correct that being a Fed employee is like working is a #hole being treated like sheet. You have to have stones as all of management are corrupt. I get why you l eft as its the same in every agency.

That being said there is something more that you may ne missing out on. Thats why they recruited me as I see way past the forest. So this happens often IMO after reading your thread. Senior management in government probably does it intensionally to reduce benefits of possibly millions of elderly americans. You as a guy in the trenches are too busy on the hamster wheel.

They silently get away with it.

Thats my take! But...........thank you as you gave me more evidence.

As a formal federal aircraft technician, i can confirm that most people in elevated positions in the fed sector are corrupt beyond help. One particular organization called Zonta is the worst.

a reply to: InspectorE7

Its even worse that that. My partner put a shotgun in his mouth as he had the balck book of evidence. We testified before Senate Subcommittee as they were then investigation that 5 sided building. He gave them all but kept copies. They last all and invstigation died.

The guy who died on Trumps watch and Trump trashed him in public was connected.

a reply to: Jhayesdvm

Preach it!

Different church, same choir here. 23 years (2 more and I'd have ended up in the asylum for life) as "customer service" agent for a state tax agency.


Every word you've written.....So true! (Well, "idiot" might be too far. But I have, and do, still, feel your pain)

a reply to: Jhayesdvm

You sir, are litterally the definition of an idiot

That went over my head. My circle is Special Agents at the Federal level. That includes retired FBI and State Department.

You havent got a clue do you?

As far as the extra payment goes this happens to people in the military constantly. Technically it's your responsibility to not accept any payments that aren't for you. Who knows about the lower benefits. That's pretty messed up.

a reply to: Waterglassing

About DB? I knew his real name ( he said)... and what city- state he lived, and it wasn't Texas...

All distortions...have no clue as to whoever he is...aren't we all...who we think we are? Nope.

I could be a one eyed, three legged Portuguese man-of-water named Opie. Who the hell knows? A.I. is getting weird. It's not we didn't see these sneaky things happening, we just believed "Eh. It'll be ok".

Please keep up..n I've heard from a mod...nothing new, known or worthy of mentioning.

They are hurting too.....keep the threads comin'.

Best

You still have trouble putting a coherent thought together, provide no details, and can barely spell what you're complaining about. Reminds of me working at SSA, that's for sure. I mean, two posts in and you haven't stated a single fact about the dispute. Hire a lawyer. Hire them to do literally everything for you. Maybe read the morning paper? Write posts on here? Really, no limits lol. Or just go outside and yell at the clouds.

Then you have the gall to tell me I don't have a clue about a job I worked at for almost 5 years... over a dispute you haven't shared one single fact about... in aseries of incoherent ramblings? Yeah. I still think you're an idiot. So does everyone who has the misfortune of encountering you. Thankfully, that won't be me any longer! Tell your incompetent wife her friend has to repay the money.

a reply to: Jhayesdvm

Well sir or madam, bot or AI. I survived a drive by assassination attempt on my life so as to preserve your enjoyment of living in the USA.

So you would love to get detailed information. Dude I use to run against the Russians so you shuffeled papers for 5 years and burned out?

Oh as far as lawyers go no lawyers touch a Social Security appeal unless your after the disability gravey train. So your on your own. What a great system! I once again whish to thank you for spilling the beans in that several hundreds of letters go out monthly that change peoples benefits. Oh so the computers cant compute correctly or are thise secret algorithms at it again?

From one useful idiot to another?

Thats why I have a stupid goat as my avatar. To depict an employee of uncle sam.

Will do as I rejoined as someone accused many here of being pedos. Strange as I related my stuff on our neighbor as to trafficking kids back in 2021 to the FBI and DEA.

a reply to: Waterglassing

Dunno why I'm still here either...outta spite I guess to either raise this ship, or go down with it.

WC? You used to irritate me...but then, I believe I began to understand where you're coming from on your posts: the misunderstanding was all mine.

I'm glad tho... you, me DTOM and others....are still here.

The DB thing is unreal...comm'd here with him thru the years...to me it appeared he had a zillion things goin in a zillion directions...

Suspicious...but he did give me his real name ans location and asked me not to post it to anyone. I think he slipped up....

Well...that info was lost in the sink of ATS. Just as well...

a reply to: Mysterioustranger2

My issue is that my mind thinks too fast and I write or speak as if all others know where I am coming from. My wife says so all the time. My bad
