Red flags should have gone off...you would think SS would have an algorithm to automatically check after a certain age.
They do. SSA managers are supposed to contact every recipient over age 100 annually. If the recipient is over a certain age and hasn't used Medicare in a certain amount of time, the manager is supposed to make a face to face contact.
I imagine there's a manager or two who's got some 'splainin to do.
