My father is 90 years old, a WWII veteran and should not live in fear from month to month that his SS check will be cut off. he always pleasantly surprised to have gotten the most recent one. There are several organizations that call themselves P.A.C.'s but are no more than scams. They solicit money from gullible people (or folks who just can't see what they really are). My dad is overdrawn this month because of them. I have requested of several that they stop sending, but they won't. which tells me they are not what they say they are.
He can't remember to keep his check register so I have had to take the checkbook and divert his mail to my address. Am I alone with this mail problem or are there other victims. Please check your elder parents acct's and mail, if they answer one they will get lots more.
You CAN have his mail diverted to a PO Box, or to your home for safety and peace of mind. Wouldn't it be better to have his SS done by direct deposit?
After reading your post, I foresee that happening in my parent's very near future as Dad keeps losing bills within the piles of papers on his desk :P
