When NOT to Take “No” for a Social Security Answer.

Here’s a Social Security reality: Representatives at the Social Security Administration are human and, as such, they can (and do) make mistakes.

Two cases in point for this are made by retired Social Security employee Tom Margenau, who writes a regular advice column “Social Security and You” appearing in many media publications. In this article appearing at Tucson.com, Mr. Margenau reflects upon his tenure at the Social Security Administration and explains why, even if an SSA agent has informed you otherwise, that you should still file for any Social Security benefit you truly believe you are entitled to.
