Pelosi Falsely Claims That 'Social Security Benefits' Are Delivered by Post Office Mail
CNS News ^ | August 17, 2020 | Michael W. Chapman

(CNS News) -- In a letter to her Democratic colleagues in Congress about President Trump's alleged manipulation of the U.S. Postal Service, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) falsely claims that "Social Security benefits" are delivered by mail.

This is not true because, as the Social Security Administration states in its own literature, "If you get Social Security benefits, you must receive your payments electronically."

In her Aug. 16 letter, which is posted as a press release on her website, Pelosi states, "The Postal Service is a pillar of our democracy, enshrined in the Constitution and essential for providing critical services: delivering prescriptions, Social Security benefits, paychecks, tax returns and absentee ballots to millions of Americans, including in our most remote communities."

"Alarmingly, across the nation, we see the devastating effects of the President’s campaign to sabotage the election by manipulating the Postal Service to disenfranchise voters," claims Pelosi. "These delays also threaten the health and economic security of the American people by delaying delivery of life-saving medicines and payments."

"Lives, livelihoods and the life of our American Democracy are under threat from the President," she asserts.

However, the Social Security Administration (SSA) stopped mailing benefit checks to retired Americans many years ago.

I applied this past Spring.

The options for getting the money were;

1. Direct deposit
2. Direct deposit
3. Direct deposit.

You could choose any one of the three.

Pelosi thinks ‘direct deposit’ is a suitcase full of cash waiting for her in a Washington hotel room.

In the old days, when they did print them for the mail, I was in the print room once watching millions come off the machine.

A little fact checking BEFOREposting a letter, or commentary goes a long way towards ending superfluous conversation before it is necessary to start. IOW had she checked, and found the truth before she sent the letter we would not find it necessary to waste time discussing, and confirming the actual truth.
