Explain how Social Security can state that I was no longer disabled
as of March 1992 and Medicare should have been stopped 93 days after
that which would be June 1992. Make note of the dates in the excerpts
from my award letters.
Make note also of the dates in the letter that explains the funds I
will receive. I received my first payment mid October 1992 with the
monthly funds beginning in November 1992.
Again, how can Medicare supposed to have been stopped before it ever
started?
Taken verbatim from my initial SSDI award letter.

This notice to me is dated Sept. 17, 1992.
Judge Christopher Lee Williams, administrative judge signed
the document on Sept. 17, 1992.
Note the last dates, the hearing dates. How can Social Security state
that Medicare was supposed to have stopped 93 days after they are now
claiming I was no longer disabled which is March 1992 when the hearing
date was in July 1992? How does that make proper sense?
The next letter is dated Oct 28, 1992. This explains the funds I would
be receiving. My first check was issued to me in October 1992.
This same letter dated October 1992 states:
You are entitled to hospital insurance under Medicare part A beginning
June 1991.
You are entitled to medical insurance under Medicare part B beginning
October 1992.
We charge a monthly premium for your medical insurance. The rates are shown
below:
$31.80 10/92
We are taking medical insurance premiums due through October 1992 out of the
check you will receive around October 13, 1992. These premiums total $31.80.
We will deduct medical insurance premiums 1 month in advance.
We will send your Medicare card in about 4 weeks. You should take this card
with you when you need medical care. If you need medical care before you
receive the card, use this letter as proof that you are covered by Medicare.
If you do not want medical insurance, please complete the enclosed card and
return it to us in the envelope we have provided. You will need to do this
by the date shown on the card. If you decide you do not want the insurance,
we will return any premiums that you have paid.
Information About Lawyer's or Representative's Fees
We have approved the fee agreement between you and your lawyer.
Your past-due benefits are $14,251.00 for 06/89 through 08/92. Under the
fee agreement, your lawyer cannot charge you more than $3,562.75 for his
or her work. The amount of the fee does not include any out-of-pocket
expense (for example, costs to get copies of doctors' or hospitals'
reports). This is a matter between you and your lawyer.
[NOTE: Roger Allen is still in practice and he did call me in response to
my email to him. He said he "cleaned out his garage years ago." However,
to continue to pursue my disability rights. He had me to read the letter
of denial/rejection to him. That was in regards to my waiver being denied.
I did file yet again for disability using the injuries and medical issues
starting in 1997 to 2002. And too, I also signed an expedited reinstatement
form which is what should have been done back in December of 2004 instead
of filing for early retirement. This will get Medicare reinstated for me
for a period of 6 months. By that time I will be 65. ;-) I had also called
the local social security office and left a message that I wanted the last
conversation put in writing and mailed to me because it conflicted with
my original award letter. The social security worker called me and told me
to go file again for disability based on my current issues. Now read on...
this was just an update. Today's date is: July 22, 2005.]
I am in hopes that Roger Allen is still in practice in Arlington, Texas.
Not that he can help me but I believe he needs to know what is happening.
Still such a pile of papers to get in proper order and less than 2 weeks
to accomplish it. Thirteen years post SSDI award and I have to file yet
again for SSDI at age 64 to be able to get Medicare reinstated.
Robert Miller at Michael Richard's office in Dallas told me to go to the
local Social Security office and request an expidited reinstatement.
However, since I am now on retirement benefits, Medicare won't kick in
until I am 65 which will be December of this year. Then too, I was told
Medicare was supposed to have stopped 93 days after they determined I was
no longer disabled which was March 1992. Ascinine.
They stopped my SSDI as of December 2004, actually in Sept. 2004 with no
letter of notice. Then again in October with no letter of notice. In
November they sent a letter stating they would be starting my funds again.
In December I received a letter stating they were stopping my SSDI. I
then started receiving early retirement because of the mixup with SSDI.
I qualified retro to November but did not receive any funds in December
other than $155 off my ex's number which is now only $138.00.
Then in April I received a letter stating that as of March 3, 2005 I
would not receive any funds at all to include my retirement benefits,
no funds from my ex's social security number, meaning no income at all,
zip, nada, ZERO. You are forced to sign loan papers when you get
emergency funding or you get none.
Today's date is June 27, 2005.
