First off I understand SSA is in danger from the fact it is under staffed and scaled back: that is a sign of our times: defunding the system. I am grateful for the system
Office Motto
We can do anything to you we like that you cannot stop us from doing.
Here at Auburn the problem is this: they are curt! They cut you off. Shut you down. Then say you need to be polite when asking a question.
Problem they may demand a payment for medical premiums, then they tell you they do not have the authority to do it. Yet they demand it. Then fall back to pay! pay!
If you try to get information they will end the call.
They are essentially blocking people from medical, playing god. Life Death is their mind set.
I asked why did you demand payment if you do not have the authority and did you send a letter? They will then say it Medicare not us and Medicare will say it is them
In this way they block any dialogue: they will try to stop you from escalating to a manager who can resolve the issue or negotiate. You can call 100 times they will block you out.
This office is like no other I have delt with. In the past open ended conversation took place, and people worked with you. Not here these people do not work with you they work against you.
They may have negative views of people on SSA or parts of it or take personal issue with people. They make the rules, they tell you how it is, even if that is not true. IF you try to get them to define it, they will hang up end the call in Curt manner.
These people stripped me of medical for 3 years and I had to go to OIJ just to get the door open - just to get to a person who could talk.
These people sent ,me to hell near death
They want deportment and offer none
Try to get to another office. If you try to get answers, as always you get blow back. Very odd office, and I have known several offices - this place is dangerous for you
Sand Traps: First these people are/or should be there to help you and teach you not smack you down
Example: I asked where did money go.
Agent nothing was taken!
Me: Yes it was and want to know where it went.
Agent, I will send a letter.
Me, I am asking if you took money out.
Agent, Medicare takes it
Me, no you took out and demanded payment- why if you are not able to do that.
y
Agent, I told you I would send a letter
Me, You very short. curt and not allowing for communication
Agent if you learned how to talk to people maybe you would not get that.
This a trap, where she insinuating that I am being rude for asking questions and she does see the irony. Like Mean spirited 5th grade teach or an old school catholic nun: I mean that, I can't say all of them but it is a toxic office
Once people like this start to label you, it is dangerous, she will take anything out of context ( threaten you by indirect means) which this unit does
Maybe you go there for a chat, I recommend you go another office. Talk
to SSA or go to O I J others: They will shut you down with armed mam sitting behind you, so you can shut your pie hole here: this kind of behavior is for anyone on SSDI Discrimination and Stigma for I assure you all they do not speak this way to retirees - this abuse talk is what call Apparatchik talk. abuse is for those they do not like: they will cry wolf
Toxic office - ask yourself how do feel after a communication with these people again not all of them but it is systemic
Find away to get away from them
Facts the agents are there to guide and help not demand payments
First they most send a bill,
Second they most give you away to pay that bill
If they do not you can debate that but they have no right as office agent to bark out pay! pay! not even collectors do this.
Any Medicare Premium Payment past do you can find on Medicare Page
They most too, present a bill
SSA Auburn is not operating in the known, they are outside their roles
They are not going relate to you or collaborate with - curt, hostile in the office way. Go to Medicare 9 times out 10 you get friendly helpful people
Theses systems work together when suits them and don't when it does not
two different protocols or like two menus read more
