Q: Social security administration employee has been harassing me for years. Now costing me time and money
Example: told me I could only use gross wages as an independent contractor. This led to my benefits being stopped twice.
A:
I'm sorry to hear that you have been dealing with harassment from a Social Security Administration employee. You may be able to take action to address this situation.
Firstly, it's important to document any instances of harassment and keep records of all interactions with this employee. You should also report the harassment to the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Regarding the issue with your benefits being stopped twice, you may want to speak with a Social Security attorney or advocate who can help you navigate the system and ensure that your benefits are correctly calculated and disbursed.
It's also worth noting that you may be able to file a complaint against the Social Security Administration with the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties or the Department of Justice, if you feel that your rights have been violated.
In any case, I recommend seeking legal advice and exploring all options available to you. This situation is unacceptable and you deserve to be treated fairly and respectfully.
