My income is late again and I am on the phone for the 6th hour today waiting with the same hold…read moremusic from the other day that made me sleep for 24 hours with a migraine... like this one. Please return my missing income from last year as I have not recovered any from the fraud payee that has been closed permanently under the care of Carolyn Housman and CA Senior Adult Services Don Myers who couldn't understand I fired him for so many years before all the pains expressed through every neglected call with SSI before I was evicted from them defaulting and caused me to lose all of my property, home, family, supplies, tools, clothing, artwork, all promised to be recovered by SDPD and property who also hung up on me with my disability that needs acomodation sometimes even costing me 50% of my paychecks to get assistance when I am well. SSI leaves me less than $300 a month after my humiliating rent amount of $1000 at the very top of what I will sacrifice for a roof over my head after 100% of my money has been on rent and trying to recover lost tools and supplies. I still need towels, heat as reaquired by CA LAW in a rental- I can't afford with default and forcing me to continue reporting SSI left me in my car screaming for help and getting hung up on... sick and unable to reach them by my car that I lived in until I lost it with my rights to have a safety plan and for care at the hospital of my choice or not. I lost my rights to protect myself and have been slandered I have been harassed by CRF workers and they have been reported to SDPD and APS when I stayed at their abusive non accommodating crisis home for health care vs hospitalization against me trying to walk again and recover after so many years stuck in a gas leak and with CPTSD from being raped by someone I cant seem to get arrested with companies who make me look so bad such as the reports of me screaming about the poor care I have never been forced to continue to encounter until Don Myers closed actor of El Cajon PD. I need help with recovering money from this month and still on hold. I hung up after a few hours on hold the first time and the other time almost an hour and half. Now I am still on hold for almost 2 Hours and they are rude and have called me Pet names at window 3 needing help suing and recovering payment for my personal charges as soon as follow up as requested in many calls since and closing of my witness as my payee shortly after as he was a Captain in the Marines and also heard the PET NAME or SEXUAL HARRASSING OF UNWANTED NAME CALLING and Sexualizing me calling me MAM countless times as I just needed help and placement. My rent was due on the 1st and you have neglected to pay my income on time I have set up direct deposit several times before you were forcing me again into the abusive company of your office and waiting room eyeballing experience.

The place seems spacious, although the covid think had the waiting area shut down, everyone had to wait outside, they even offer chairs for elderly people and children outside while waiting to fill out forms and drop off, took me at least an hour to fill out the entire packet, only to be told by the county worker that this program required you to be US citizen and it's a loan so you will have to pay it back, how comes no one told us at the beginning, this is weird, but the employee navigated us to another program that we might consider called CAPI, since we're already here, she proceeded to take the other application anyway, hopefully when I decided to apply for CAPI they would called me back to finish up with general relief.

My Personal Experience with Judge Rosy Meyerowitz…read more I appeared before Judge Rosy Meyerowitz in a family-law matter at the East County courthouse. My experience was extremely upsetting and left me with serious concerns about how my case was handled. I felt that the judge relied heavily on her own opinions, impressions, and perceptions rather than approaching my circumstances with the neutrality and understanding I expected in a complicated family-law matter. I was on the stand to start my hearing when my husband's attorney asked Judge Meyerowitz for permission to serve me. She gave permission, and my husband's attorney personally served me in the courtroom. My husband was not present in court that day. I have PTSD, and this was extremely distressing for me. I was also concerned about what I perceived as a lack of experience and perspective in handling the complexity of my circumstances. Judge Meyerowitz was appointed to the Superior Court bench in 2024. I also personally observed what I felt was a very harsh manner toward other people appearing in the courtroom. I believe litigants deserve patience, dignity, courtesy, and consideration. This review reflects my personal experience and concerns. I am pursuing the appropriate legal channels to address them. One positive thing was the bailiff. He is always kind understanding, considerate and I very much appreciate that:)

This department has the worst documented accountability record in the entire United States. Over…read morethe last five years, they sustained just 1 complaint; meaning they dismissed 96% of all misconduct complaints. No other documented county in the U.S. has a lower record. I know, because I'm one of those dismissed voices. Officer #415 "in appropriately" assaulted me (yes I have to change that from the correct term because they auto block it), then $talked me, then stopped me four times in five days, including once outside his jurisdiction. Internal Affairs, led by Lieutenant Forster, chose to side with him instead of investigating. After that, I was stopped over roughly 20 more times in a year and a half. Not once was I arrested, because these stops weren't about crime they were about retaliation. Since moving very far away, my police interactions have been normal and professional, which proves the problem isn't policing in general it's THIS department. Now they refuse to release the records or bodycam footage or proof he shut it off during both stops claiming it's "private." But federal retention laws require that evidence to be kept for 15 years. If it's missing, that only raises more questions about what they're hiding. They have taken down my review on Facebook and will not allow anymore negative reviews. This shows how deep the rabbit hole goes. El Cajon residents deserve better. They deserve a department that serves the people - not one that protects predators in uniform.

Overview: affordable way to get married, the wait times are pretty long even with an appointment,…read moregreat amenities though ---- Came here for a friend's wedding and it was a pretty simple process, but they were running behind so we waited longer than the original time they were supposed to get married. We got here at 11:30AM, they signed some paperwork, then it was a waiting game with the ceremony starting at around 12:15PM. Thank goodness there's air conditioning inside and plenty of seating. Especially in Santee and this heatwave we are experiencing, the AC was an amazing relief. They also had a water bottle refill station and water fountain. I also realllyyy liked that they had free menstrual products in the bathroom (so awesome!). There was lots of people getting married that day with around 3-4 other couples getting married. We waited for our turn and when the officiant was ready, they called the names of the couple and then we went outside. The ceremony area was shaded and had concrete benches, the only thing is that other women people/families waiting outside had slowly congregated nearby and were a little talkative. The ceremony area is located to the left of the front entrance and provided shade so I understand people want relief from the hot sun, but o feel like there should be a sign or a small fence or something to denote that that's the ceremony area so that people are mindful. ---- Overall: a longer wait time than expected, great free amenities, and affordable things like getting married!

The one we were greeted with was friendly and had a fun sense of humor. Once inside, you check in at a kiosk (side note, if you have an appointment, you check in from your phone when you park). You receive a number and are asked to be seated based on whether you have an appointment or not. There is a bathroom, which was clean. The air in the waiting room was nice (not stuffy or hot). When your number is called, you go to a window to be helped. Please be patient as there are only a few people taking care of many and the time slots are limited. The lady that helped us gave us bad news, yet everything we needed to correct my application and set us up with an appointment to do so.

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting any SSA building before today, but it reminded me of mini DMV, with the lobby of chairs, a kiosk, and monitor screens displaying next in line lottery numbers. Now serving #### at window #. Making the appointment was easy, however a 120+ minute phone hold time needs improvement. I called in to request duplicate paperwork and left the phone on speaker to run errands while waiting in the hold queue. Two...hours...later...a friendly voice greeted me and was very helpful and thorough with answering questions. While setting an SSA appointment the rep discovered an error and determined the root cause. Since their system had my phone and email info, I received reminders and information including an advance check-in weblink for when we arrived. I followed the link instructions and promptly received my ticket number before we got out of the car. There were a couple of people inside the lobby among the rows of seats towards the right when entering. The information TV screens and kiosk were to the left. Office SSA reps worked behind glass and each space provided two chairs with partitions separating customers for semi-privacy. We spent less than 5 minutes in the lobby after checking in online from the parking lot. Our SSA rep was friendly and helpful, answering questions and providing reasonable expectations of next steps after concluding the appointment in roughly 30 minutes to resolve why we needed to stop by in person. If you have an online account. I'd highly recommend taking that route, but if you must go the SSA office, be ready to endure the steps for making an appointment and be prepared with all necessary documents.
