Jim's Social Security arrived yesterday!

Yesterday Jim received a "paper check" from Social Security after they made several attempts to send it to our bank, and having it returned by the bank. The bank said they never received the checks. So... who's at fault?  We were amazed at the reply from the Social Security representative when we asked if they could send a paper check until the bank problem was resolved.  She said they aren't set up to mail checks and it could take 7-10 days!


Anyway, we will take the check for two months' payment to the bank today. We are trying to work out a plan to have the monthly check sent to another bank in Elba where we have a special account, and then transfer funds to our checking account. We'll see if this works out.


Now maybe he will be back on Medicare and our prescription plan will be back in effect, etc. When his social security stopped, it trickled down to other programs being cut out!


Please rejoice with us that once again we now have enough income to buy groceries and pay bills. And even take a short trip next week to Charleston, SC to spend a couple of days with our son Bill and 2 daughters. We will meet them there to check out the College of Charleston with Katie. She was also accepted by the Univ. of SC and will visit there soon.
