Hello, my name is Daniel, and I am reaching out for support during a very hard time. At 64 I am getting Social Security Retirement however the Social Security Administration is withholding part of my retirement due to what they say is overpayment of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) from a couple of years ago.

I am scheduled to see an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) later this year in order to try and get this worked out

Concerning my Social Security retirement I was getting $1, 142 a month but now due to the money being withheld I'm only getting $709 a month with $433 going towards the overpayment.

I've had to rely largely on credit cards but the two I have are maxed out. I do feel good that I used the credit cards as one should, only in case of an emergency. I rent a room at a house here in Los Angeles county so at least I do not have a mortgage. Still, who could live on $709 a month. $1,142 a month was barely covering my rent. Even then I had all the other living expenses.

The Lord blessed me with a non-profit that helps seniors and they were going to help me with rental assistance. However the homeowner would not sign the documentation the Non-Profit is requiring.

I listed the goal to be $100 a month because that is the lowest number Give Send Go will allow. Any thing you can help me with would go toward my rent, daily living expenses such as food, my part of the electric bill, bus pass, copay for the meds my PCP has prescribed for me. Thank you

So it's a mixed up mess. I do my best to hang on to the promise of God in Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert".

Thank you for reading about my situation, and any help you could give me in this difficult time would be a tremendous blessing.

Daniel
