A client brought this to my attention. She received the above letter in the mail. It looks very official, however it is a scam! Please protect yourself. It’s easy to fall for scams if you aren’t aware.

The scammers are trying to trick you to give them your personal information, giving them money or downloading malware onto your device. Scammers pretend to be from an agency to gain your trust. They will tell you that there is a problem that you need to have fixed “immediately”. They will try to pressure you into making a quick decision.

These are red flags. You can trust that Social Security will never:

• Threaten you with arrest or legal action because you don’t agree to pay money immediately.
• Suspend, Freeze or “Hold” your Social Security number.
• Claim to need personal information or payment to activate a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or other benefit increase.
• Pressure you to take immediate action, including sharing personal information.
• Ask you to pay with gift cards, prepaid debit cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or by mailing cash.
• Threaten to seize your bank account.
• Offer to move your money to a “protected” bank account.
• Demand secrecy.

Be skeptical and look for red flags. If you receive a suspicious call, text message, email, letter, or message on social media, the caller or sender may not be who they say they are. Scammers have also been known to:

• Use legitimate names of Office of Inspector General or Social Security Administration employees.
• “Spoof” official government phone numbers, or even numbers for local police departments.
• Send official-looking documents by U.S. mail or attachments through email, text, or social media message.

It is illegal to reproduce federal employee credentials and federal law enforcement badges. Federal law enforcement will never send photographs of credentials or badges to demand any kind of payment, and neither will federal government employees.

Clients have lost thousands of dollars. If they get any bank account information they will wipe you out! If you recognize a scam take care of yourself and others by reporting them. Simply call 1-800-772-1213 and report it to Social Security.

Periodically, Social Security will send you to one of their Social Security Disability doctors.  Why?  See the video below!

How do you win a Social Security case?  – medical records.  How do you keep your Social Security?  – medical records.  When you are in the application process for Social Security Disability or SSI benefits, sometimes Social Security wants you to go see one of their doctors.  These doctors are disability doctors.  They do not treat patients.  They are trained to assess disability.  It is very important that you go!

Social Security needs to establish your disability based on medical records.  It’s always best to see your own doctor as much as possible and always tell them what problems you have “doing things”.  If your doctor will record the problems you’re having doing things such as standing, walking, sitting, lifting and using your hands and fingers, it will help Social Security understand why you can’t work.  This is critical to win and keep your disability.  I’ll go more into this in my next video. 

The Social Security doctor’s examination is typically very brief.  Please note how long the doctor actually spent with you and what he did during the evaluation.  Did he touch you?  Did he use any instruments to measure your grip?  Did he listen to you?  Did he need to help you on or off the examination table?  What did he say to you?  This is information I need to know just in case their findings are not favorable to your case.  By doing these things you will help me, help you. 

If you know anyone who may need Social Security disability benefits, please give them my number, forward this email to them.

I will listen to them and let them know if they have a good case or not. Remember, I never charge for consultations.  And there is never a fee unless we win.

Take care and God bless!

We hope and pray that you have a very Merry Christmas.  I know 2021 has been a real struggle for many of you.   Please watch the video for my personal message to you…

Again, Merry Christmas.  As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we stop and remember that no matter how hard life gets at times, God is in control.  He has demonstrated his love and he will take care of us all. 

If you are going through the process to get Social Security, I know that this is one of the most trying seasons in your life.  I take that seriously and will help you through it. 

We here at Adams and Associates are dedicated to doing the very best we can to take care of your Social Security Disability needs.  We care very much.

Today we have sent out a calendar for the year 2022 to our present clients.  It will help you keep up with your doctor’s appointments.  Be sure to record your good days and bad days on it so you can tell your doctor and he can put it in his notes to help to document your Social Security case.

If you did not receive a calendar and would like for us to send you one, please call us with your updated telephone number and address and we will send you one.  It’s our gift to you.

Merry Christmas, May God bless you and keep you through 2022.

Randy Adams and the staff of Adams Disability, Inc.

PS: If you are already receiving Social Security we hope that the new raise in benefits that you will receive next year will be helpful.

If you know anyone who needs Social Security disability benefits, please give them my name or website address (adamsdisability.com).  Feel free to share my telephone number (706-212-2080).  My goal is to help people get their benefits as soon as possible. 

I will be glad to talk with them and help them.  Remember, I never charge for consultations, and there is never a fee unless we win.

The cost-of-living raise beginning next year is one of the largest ever.  Watch my video for details:

Social Security has announced that there will be a 5.9 % increase in payments to most Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income recipients in 2021.  This is the largest raise in benefits since the 1980s.  The raise will begin in January 2022 and you should notice it in the check that you received in February 2022.  These federal benefit rates increase when the cost of living rises.  This raise is one of the largest ever!

If you are not receiving Social Security and are still in the application process, please be assured that we are doing everything we can to process your claim quickly and efficiently.  Keep going to your doctor as much as you possibly can afford and always tell them the physical or mental problems that would keep you from working – on every visit.
