In a recent survey I conducted, my readers gave the Social Security Administration outstanding marks for the services they provide. Still, that doesn’t mean that no one encounters any problems dealing with them.
I bring this up again because, despite the survey results, I continue to hear from readers who tell me that they contacted the SSA with the intention of filing for Social Security benefits of one kind or another and then were either told they weren’t eligible for any benefits or were otherwise talked out of filing.
