Excuses

I just realized I have found a way to spend all day on these forums, without doing what I should be doing, and without bothering my conscience! Call Social Security and get put on hold!

What's more, this shows I am capable of multi-tasking after all!

Of course, if they ever answer, I may be so surprised I'll forget why I called them, and lose my train of thought on a po... ...hold on a minute

I take it you don't have a job to go to which means you're probably rich. I have some good causes to suggest
Have a less boring day and weekend.

Actually, I have several jobs to go to, but when and if I want. Problem is, people depend on me, and I hate to let them down. Oh, and no, I am not rich!

You’d have to be a man of great faith to think you’ll get a coherent, helpful answer to any question from a government agency.

You're definitely a comedian. Btw, what's a po...?

Do you always post to yourself?

Hey, since I've retired, there are times I have nothing better to do. But in truth, I've had no problems with SS. My wife and I each get our benefits deposited the 2nd Wed. of every month, without fail. At least so far. Where I have had problems is with the IRS. I've always done my 1040 myself. A few years ago, I had to file a 1040X amended return. I was still due a refund, though it was smaller than I originally had calculated. Honestly, it took more than a year to get my refund. I was on the phone every month checking the refund status. And waiting 20- 30 min. to speak to a live person. 2020 was the Covid year. I guess that did play a role. But it wasn't until about August of 2021, when I finally got my refund. Although, the IRS did pay me interest for the delay.
