I will pray for you to have this whole thing resolved in your favor.  It is 
something desperately needed.

> In 1977, I got on SSDI. In 1979, Social Security offered me Medicare. I 
> turned down the offer for Medicare, because Vernon had excellent health 
> insurence, and I didn't think I needed Medicare. Big mistake. In 2001, I 
> found out that I would be penylized ten percent, for every year I did not 
> take Medicare. I signed up for Medicare in July of 2001 during the Special 
> Enrolment period.
>
> They are taking over $300.00 out of my SSDI check for Medicare. We just 
> got a letter, and found out that they will be taking an additional $32.00 
> out of my SSDI check for Medicare. I've written to the Social Security 
> Administration, and I've talked to them on the phone, but they will not 
> reverse this at all.

> We even went threw Verizon, which use to be G T E, where Vernon worked. 
> They were too lazy to do anything about this, and all we wanted them to do 
> is look up the records, to prove that Vernon had health insurence coverage 
> for both of us, and that I was on his plan. They didn't do anything. They 
> wanted to lie to SSA, and tell them that Vernon started working there in 
> May of 1999, or something weird like that, and we would not do that. I 
> told them that I'm not lying to the SSA at all. We didn't either. I'm so 
> upset about this, and I don't know what to do now. Do I get a lawyer? It 
> would cost me a lot of money in lawyer fees.
>
> Please pray for me, that God will show me how to handle this situation, 
> and how to get it reversed. Then, I would like to make them pay me back 
> all the money they have taken out of my check since 2001.

> Your prayers and advice is much appreciated.
