   Yeah, well I am a member of the Spanish community. Social Security Administration Disability Determination Services has LOST my online application TWICE now! The most recent time was December 2022. I received a confirmation email and a re entry number. I had taken close to 3 hours hammering this (now 3rd attempt) application out again to get it submitted. My county case worker at the Mesa County Work Force Center sat there and watched me to it the whole time. I submitted it, took a picture of the confirmation page with the re entry number, I have copies of the confirmation of receipt of application email ssa/dds sent to me. I waited 2 weeks or so and tried looking it up just to find nothing. I called my local SSA office, was told a supervisor would look into it and call me back (which never happened). My case worker got a hold of their contact at SSA and they couldn’t locate anything! How is that possible? I have a re entry number and a confirmation email. There has to be a glitch somewhere in the system. It can’t just be gone! It has to be floating around in no ma: land waiting to be retrieved by someone from somewhere, right? So discouraged and disheartened. So much time I put into applying several times. This of course all happened about a month after my husband passed away from COVID 10/29/21 (he was only 35) so I just didn’t have the fight in me then. But I NEED the money now. I can’t work, I was hospitalized involuntarily back in September 2022 due to these same conditions. I almost lost my house in foreclosure this last year. I mean everything is just piling on top of me weighing me down more and more. I need help please. I had requested that someone in IT to please look at it. There is a re entry number and confirmation email attached to the most recently list application from 12/2021.

   Thank you,

       I does not help as my local SSA office has been a large part of the problem. If they even answer the phone they are not helpful. I have requested a supervisor to call me back several times to no avail….Whenever I ask about IT getting involved to try and find it I get told a supervisor will call me back and we’ll that never happens… I have paid into Social Security my entire life so for you to tell me that I should try to apply with my local state benefits office is kind of a slap in the face. I earned these benefits by paying into these benefits, my entire working life. It shouldn’t be this hard. It shouldn’t be this difficult, and it shouldn’t be this burdensome to the American people. I have submitted three applications, all of which have been lost? Somethings broken. This isn’t right, nor does it even begin to be fair…. Thanks for the advice though.
