I posted the other day about my SSDI, the taxes they take out of it, the Medicare premiums, the part D premiums, and all that stuff, that's why my caseworker told me about the SafeLink Wireless program.
Well my caseworker found a problem with my case, got her supervisor involved, and so the supervisor called me late this afternoon about how much I actually get for SSDI and how much I pay out of it for those things.
She said I shouldn't be paying for anything but my part D drug coverage, that somebody made a huge mistake.
So she needed me to fax her my latest 'award letter' stating how much I get and how much I pay, as soon as possible.
I explained that I had no access to a fax machine, but asked her if she could take a jpeg by email, and if she could, what's her email address, I could scan it and send it to her within like 10 minutes.
She gave me her state of Florida email addy, I scanned it and emailed it to her, and she emailed that she received it, and also that yup, it's just as they expected, I've been paying taxes and the Medicare premiums every month when I never should have been, so they are going to fix it ASAP, and then SSDI will have to reimburse me over 2 years of wrong payments.
I'll get a check for all those over payments I paid out.
When?
I have no idea, but it will be so freaking nice to get all of that money back when it does happen.

That is awesome! So are you saying that you should have never been paying any taxes in the first place?
It's about time something good happens to you! :)
Wow, that is freaking great! Glad someone was looking out for you!
That's fan-freaking-tastic Kat! I know it always sucks to spend out money, but it's nice to just sort of con yourself into feeling like you're getting free money with something like this! I do it every semester when I sell my books back-- haha
That's brilliant! Just what you need.
That is so awesome!
Wow, isn't it great when somebody helps you figure out that the government owes money back to you?!?! Awesome sweetness!
I'm happy to see that they're correcting the problem and sending your money back.
