A:
If you believe that you are being discriminated against based on your name or any other protected characteristic, you may have legal options available to you.
One possible option is to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the appropriate state agency, depending on the nature of the discrimination. These agencies investigate claims of discrimination and may be able to provide relief or assistance.
In addition, you may want to consider consulting with an attorney who specializes in discrimination law to discuss your options and potential legal remedies. They can help you determine whether you have a viable discrimination case and advise you on the best course of action.
As for the issue with Social Security Administration, it may be helpful to continue working with your disability attorneys to address the issue and ensure that your cases are being properly handled. If you are still experiencing difficulties in receiving payments, you may want to consider contacting a social security disability lawyer or advocacy organization for assistance.
