[Margaret Delp]

 Jill Gordon, SSA supervisor in the Mount Vernon office worked wonders in a similar case.  You should call and talk to  a supervisor.

This trickled to her supplemental insurance provider (retiree benefit though husband’s prior employer), and that coverage too, was initially cancelled (though we think now fixed).

She isn’t getting SS benefits, and doesn’t appear to have any Medicare coverage either.
