Your Questions About Business Online Services Social Security

Susan asks…
Lost my tax refund check?
I lost my tax refund check the other day, i tried calling the IRS after hours using their automated service (I’ll probably call them again during business hours so i can talk to an actual person) One thing they needed was my social security number, but when i gave it to them i was told it was invalid? I don’t understand that since its the number i used when I filed my taxes. If it helps any i filed my taxes online using turbo tax. So i guess my question is what should I do?

Jere answers:
Forget contacting IRS, instead visit there website, because it is what they will tell you to do.
Visit IRS website www.irs.gov and download form 3911. This form will get IRS to put a trace on your refund.
IRS will re-issue you a refund in 6-12 weeks from the date the Form 3911 is received
good luck

Ken asks…
Parents I’m over stressed?
I’m single mom of wonderful three kids. I have a son that be turning 8 in December. He has ADHD speech problems and was born with cleft palate. He have one more surgery this year for while. I have a 5 year old son that born with mild hearing loss in both ears that has to wear hearing aide’s. Then I have wonderful baby girl she be 9 months old on September 1. She a failure thrive baby with a feeding tube. I have to feed her every three hours by her doctor order. She gaining weight help of the feeding tube.
I am stay home mom that gets social security and both of boys get SSI. I was planning to go back to work part time but when I got pregnant I changed my mind. I planning not to go back because of the problems of my baby girl and daycare wouldn’t take a baby that has a feeding tube. She would only eat for me.
Back in March I decided to live with my parents for help. Then my daughter doctor decided to call children service on me. They took my baby way from me. We no longer see that doctor anymore. She see a new doctor. My mom got temporary custody of her. Then back July I got back to custody. Ever since I lived with my parents. Me and my mom had two major fights. One time her holding me back and pushed. The second fight we had I try to walk away before anything started. She pulled on my arm to hold me back and pour water over me and pulling my hair. I pulled her hair back to get her to stop. I was defanding myself. Now she went to far.
This morning she had asked me where my money is going. I told her I was saving money to get my car fixed. I need new brakes and other thing my car need fixed. My mom was demanding to see that money. Second of all she was asking me who williamson. It my boyfriend last name I told her it was a friend and I am not sending him money. She was going to report my friend to sheriff which I told her he a friend and I’m not sending him money in the mail. I had asker her she hire something to watch me. She said no but when my baby girl was in the hospital some how she got into my email address without me knowing and got all this stuff. She printed out. She really went out to far. She been demanding who i text every night. It not her business and I pay my own cell phone bill. Found out I have no car insurance. And she going to call social security to stop paying me saying I abusing it. Which not true. She going to call my kids caseworker to take me back to court me move out and my kids live with her. Since the kids would be taken away from me. Which not true. I am not unfit mother. She wanting to know who texting me every day. I told her a friend and she doesn’t need to know who the person is. She told me I can’t use any of her stuff. Second of all the stove and refrigerator in my parents house is mine I paid for and came from my old house. I can no longet stay with my parents. They putting me into stress and they not helping me in no way at all. Second of all I am do all the cleaning and they don’t help me when it their house. And I think it not healthy for me and my children to stay there. I want to look for my own place. The problem is dealing with children service still. I want to tell them the whole story before my mom tells them. I want them to know I can handle my kids on my own. Right now my boyfriend doesn’t know want going on. I am waiting for him to come online. What can I do. I’m over stress because of it. I can’t stand living there anymore. Right now I am at my friend house with all three of my kids. And my car still at their house till I get insurance on it again when I get paid. Thanks.
I am 28 year old and I am adult. My dad was backing her up.
No I don’t do drug and I don’t take them. My boyfriend out of town right now. I was born with cleft palate and my other son dad has mild hearing loss. my baby girl was perfect and didn’t expect this to happen.

You kept having children knowing that you were spawning children with problems. You sound like you have some “problems” of your own grow up, get a job, get your own place and stop having kids.

Mary asks…
I’m 25. Why do I feel like I’m behind in my life & need to rush?
I have a college degree BA in Spanish, but still not fluent since they taught more ANCIENT literature than grammar & conversation. I graduated in Aug. 2006 & haven’t had much opportunity to study my Spanish or start on any new languages because of many crises in my life. I haven’t been employed since graduation, either. Been DYING for work, but I can only do jobs that won’t exceed my mental limitations & give me an anxiety attack, & then I get fired. That almost happened to me before graduation, when I was doing a federal work-study job through the school’s financial aid. My supervisor threatened to fire me, but luckily he didn’t. Before that, I worked a temp service job for 1 day, & I have trouble standing on my feet for over 20 min., & I had to struggle for 8 hrs. That wasn’t the reason why the woman fired me. She fired me because she overheard someone ask me why I twitch my face so much, & I told her I have Tourette’s, & the supervisor overheard it & misunderstood what I said & tried to accuse me of saying I have seizures, which I didn’t say. & they told me they had to fire me because they couldn’t have anyone like that working for them.
Between Aug. 2006-April 2007, I tried to go to translation school @ New York University School of Continuing & Professional Studies. Before I knew it, these people had me paying them $125/week to stay with them. They didn’t care about my SSI & Social Security check coming late, & they threw me out cold turkey. So, they put me in a mental health shelter & gave me a false diagnosis & had me go to these stupid, elementary school-like day programs that I KNOW I was too advanced for. & they had me on the wrong meds, & they wouldn’t let me work nor go to school.
Back in 2005 I went through Hurricane Katrina, but that was before graduation, but that experience & the aftermath affected my grades. I could’ve graduated with a higher GPA & earlier.
I suffer OCD, anxiety, depression, & Tourette’s, & I had 2 strokes @ age 5. In New York, they tried to say I was Bipolar & put me on Depakote & FORCED me against my will to take it under staff supervision, & I got up to 304 lbs. @ the most.
I feel like the symptoms of my disorders & the way people discriminate against & treat me, is what caused a hold-back in my life. My depression & OCD have been getting worse & worse, & the meds don’t help. I stay @ home & try to study my Spanish independently, but I can’t because I’m always distracted by the unwanted, intrusive thoughts.
I feel like my desired career as a multilingual translator is gone because of me feeling behind. I have to start my Spanish from scratch. But I can’t concentrate or focus clearly.
I’m still single with no kids, & my credit score probably is the lowest of the low, & my student loan & other debts are rocket high. I get anxiety attacks every day because I feel like all my daily tasks can’t be completed, even though I’m not working. I’m talking about tasks, like handling phone business calls or internet business e-mails, searching for jobs online or in person, cleaning up around the house, etc. I feel stuck in a ditch & can’t get out.
What’s strange is, I may have a degree, but I don’t have many skills or much work experience, & employers refuse to hire me because they think I’m retarded because of my obvious, uncontrollable anxiety that I can’t hide. I always have fear of failing the interview or being negatively judged.
