Georgia Freeman, a woman who dedicated 48 years to the Social Security Administration, is facing financial hardship after not receiving her pension check in November. The 73-year-old is not only struggling to pay bills and support her grandchildren but has also lost her health insurance due to the missing payment. Despite reaching out to the government for help, Freeman has been told they have no records of her existence in the system.
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s office has been contacted for assistance, but so far, there has been no resolution to the issue. The Social Security Department has not provided any explanation for the missed payment, citing privacy laws. Freeman remains without crucial financial support and is in limbo until the situation is resolved.
Fox4 has spoken with Cleaver’s office, who have indicated they will reach out to Freeman after the holiday to address her concerns. The case highlights the struggles faced by retired individuals who rely on pension payments for their livelihood.
