For many people out there, Social Security is all about a monthly payment. Moreover, to make sure it’s happening and that the benefits get delivered on time and in full amounts to all the millions of older American citizens who need them, including people with disabilities, the Social Security Administration works relentlessly.

However, over the course of history, the Social Security Administration (SSA) added a series of special services to help its customers (including you and me) deal with all those pressing medical, familial, and financial matters. Today, we are going to discuss all the things that are less known about the Social Security Administration and what they can do for you.

      You are right. Contacted them and the spiel was about signing up for new insurance.

      If you live within 20 miles of any large city there are many food banks that can be found online. As well, if you do not, then many churches give away food once a month to those in need. You can find these online or even using your smartphone, if you have one. Simply enter into the query “local food banks” or “churches giving away food monthly”.
      As for utilities, the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities, again online can be found that offer help.
      Also, if you are in relatively good health, you can hire yourself out as a companion for other elderly people living alone by placing an ad online or in a local newspaper. Many families are looking for mature trustworthy people that may assist and be a companion to their elderly parent or grandparent that lives alone. You will need some references from friends or past employers or former co-workers that can vouch for your character, however.

    A Stimulus check is the weapon/tool that the wealthy uses to keep you hopeful, like a fish hoping that the bait he pursues will prove to be a great meal! there’s no stimulus check for anyone! The wealthy loves to keep you hopeful. Thats how they kept slaves in the cotton fields… with the Hope of something better! No Stimulus Checks! it’s embarrasing to hear people; especially Black Cultured people, talking about them! Also, that’s why the White Culture (Republicons) enjoy putting “Work Requirements” on everything that you’re entitled to! Like SNAP, Food share, healthcare; and other benefits that they won’t even release the informatiion to you about!
    ‘Nuff said.

    The republicans are nothing but liers , thieves and selfish people, there a POS ,MF . Are you taking all your wealth to the grave with you is it worth being greedy, do you all feel good about it and do you like doing it. All greedy people have to answer to the one and only All mighty God.

    Republicans didn’t do anything to you. Democrats raided the SS account years ago and never repaid what they took.
