I'm disabled and unable to work. My only income is through Social Security, and I have rarely…read moreexperienced anything but consummate cruelty and contempt from the people working here. Due to a "technical error," this office spent years trying to recoup an overpayment that did not exist, slashing my benefits to recoup the money that I supposedly owed them and forcing me through the repeated stress of appealing their decision. I cannot count how many times I called them, quite literally begging someone (anyone) to just look at my file, where they'd be able to see that I didn't owe anything. They would reinstate my benefits temporarily, usually without any formal acknowledgment, only to cut them again. This cycle continued for over five years, and I got different explanations every single time for why it was happening. Last year, I called Jamie Raskin's office in a desperate bid for help. According to the intern who followed up on my behalf, this whole thing was due to a "technical error" in SSA's system which has supposedly been fixed. But now right after that they were finally forced to concede it was their fault, not mine, I'm up for redetermination, and the nonsense has begun immediately. They have at this point completely stopped my benefits because, and I quote, "USPS failed to deliver a piece of mail to your stated address and since you're already in redetermination, your payments have been stopped until this is all sorted out." When will it be sorted out? When the stars align. Until then, my family has to make due with a $300 bank balance. Other fun experiences at this particular branch: - 3-5 hour wait times, even if you get there before the office opens. - Being refused appointments when trying to make them. - Having requests for formal, in-person case reviews completely ignored. - Magically changing paperwork deadlines (one notice will say you have until the 28th, the next will say the 24th) - A constantly-rotating door of case workers, not a single one of which has ever returned a phone call. - The time I hand-delivered our new lease to the office, asked for some proof that we brought it to them, was yelled at for wanting proof ("we're not going to lose it!") and then they lost it. Was told two years later that I failed to update my address in a timely manner and my benefits were once again cut.

The employee with purple hair was incredibly rude and unfair, she refused to serve me based on a…read moreprior experience and was defensive and ultimately refused to help me. I made a basic error navigating the check in link and stood in line calmly asking if she could help me. She harassed me and it was completely retaliatory, she admitted she recognized me once she did and that was when she told me so and to "STOP!" talking, then raised her voice at me and interrupted me telling me to stop raising my voice (I wasn't, and it was ironic because she yelled this at me). At a prior appointment attempting to get my license, I worked with her and during the appointment she told me that the customer service rep I spoke with did not know what she was talking about, I calmly and reasonably expressed my frustration that the customer service had given me wrong information (I had to make a new appointment and come back), I left. Then, during the follow up appointment this morning while asking for help during check in while speaking to me she said "I recognize you" interrupting me, literally yelled "STOP!" at me and told me to leave while I was calmly asking her a question. She completely victimized herself while acting like a bully, meanwhile the security guard was sitting arms crossed half asleep because I am guessing they are used to her outbursts and it is not indicative of an emergency. This behavior and treatment is completely unprofessional and unfair. Calm assertion from a woman is not aggression, she acted like I was a threat by being direct and composed. I missed my appointment because she refused to speak with me and she admitted it was because it was me.

I personally find familial history and records fascinating including oral history. I plan to sustained these military records perpetually. I sorrowfully wished I have driving skills enabling car ownership to make the long-haul trek to this federal archival material data files record keeper office at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740 from New York City as I would search deeper obtaining more information. National Archives' website has painstaking digitalized and categorized military personnel records by all military branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. It is all personal to me as a next of kin seeking my beloved family member who was a U.S. Army veteran. Searches are further categorized by war periods dating back 250 years American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, World War I, World War II including later wars and conflicts Korean War and Vietnam War. Oh! I am highly impressed that U.S. military personnel records dating 250 years are maintained and retained perpetually because my search is dating 83 years ago as it is not in recent years. My online search is very gruesome, daunting, extensive time consuming with high level of patience tolerance as there are many, many layered links and sub-links in a national centralized database. Links take users to more links and further complicated specified links. The records or biographical information are mostly abbreviated as "19" for birth year rather than year 1919 and does not explain rank, title, grade, grade code military jargon or military codes in everyday ordinary civilian language. The DD Form 214 Certificate of Release or "Discharge from Active Duty," is the official discharge paper and Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) which can also be obtained either online or mail. My data search encountered United States, Army Enlistment Records and Flexoline Index Database, by Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) under Department of Justice originated the Alien Registration Act of 1940 which I did successfully achieved basic biographical results from both file units. Further document requests can be obtain by submitting requests either online or U.S. mail for fees as draft registration cards and Records of the Selective Service. National Archives is a federal government official record keeper. These were service members who have names. They are significantly more than Army Serial Number. They lived and served. They have narratives. They are still loved and remembered.

I have very serious concerns about the Montgomery County Police…read more I was working as a poll-worker in Primary Day. A Montgomery County Police Officer working private security at the Bender Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington ejected me from a polling place in violation of the First Amendment. I was beyond the "No Electioneering" sign. contrary to what is seen in the video, the big sign that was right there was not the new election sign. The no election sign was several feet away from that and it was in bushes. I have been an election judge. I have been a poll worker. We tell people to get back behind the no electioneering sign all the time. That is for election judges. It is not for the bender Jewish community center of greater Washington to use an off duty police officer to eject a poll worker. The law says that they're supposed to make their parking lot available to members of the public for election hearing if they are a poling place. The officer would not permit me to gather signatures there because he has a conflict of interest in that he was working private security for the bender Jewish community center of greater Washington. . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SomYVK7ferU&pp=ygUIMTI1c2V0aG0%3D Subsequently the internal affairs division forwarded their investigation to the administrative charging committee of the police accountability board. The ACC miss quoted me saying that I said, "because it was not a polling place. The sign did not attach." That is absurd. These people are an abomination to justice. I had neighbors get their cars broken into. The police don't do anything about that because the Montgomery county Council will not let them. But they gladly eject pool workers from pulling places when they try to term limit our County Executive. This is the East Coast of the United States, not eastern Europe. Get it right!
