The government told an 87-year-old woman from Tampa that her social security benefits would not be paid until she turns 100. news channel 8.
The government letter explains that she owes more than $ 237 in overpayment; this is the second time her benefits have been stopped.
Mamie Walker was tired of the government suddenly stopping her social security payments, leaving her unable to pay her rent and buy food. She said it was all due to a mistake that no one can explain.
Walker has not received benefits for the past two months. She received a letter from the U.S. Social Security Administration saying she owed more than $237 in “overpayments” and would not receive benefits until September 000.
She will be 100 years old.
“You know I don’t have that kind of money, baby,” Walker said. “If they were, I wouldn’t call you about this.”
Walker said she was afraid of how she would pay her bills, and her landlord was already taking on late fees.
“My kids don’t have anything to help me, so I’m in a hole,” Walker said.
