I asked 3 times
I asked 3 times, “When will the first payment start? Answer: January 3rd, 2025. All evening long, it felt Wrong. The next day, around noon, I emailed and was told it would come out of my today or tomorrow! Yikes! I had less than $45 in my account! I scraped together $130 from money I had been adding to and saving for months and the last of my Social Security money for the month and rushed down and deposited it. Sadly, the premium withdrawal was tried at 7:18 am! Immediately, when I got home, I called my new Healthcare provider and explained what happened. The rejected premium withdrawal had not shown up in their system. Their understanding employee, put a note on my account to try again. Which, Still has Not been withdrawn from my account. I’m still in limbo. Plus, the agent told me my address Medicare has is a 2 1/2 year old address, especially, since, 2 years ago, it took me calling SS 3 times before Medicare’s system changed it. Therefore, All my medical paperwork Will go to Eugene and not to me in Portland! On 12/6, I spent 6hrs and 42 minutes on hold with Social Security to find out that they both have my Portland address. I have no idea what the agent was looking at to not see my 2 1/2 old address in the system. The agent was very friendly when we were filling out the application, but, then his emails have no names, very short and impersonal. Such a Shame. Such a Mess.
