Re: Medicare application...

[RockmartDawg]

I decided I would phone the SSA to check in on the status of the application. When going through the automated system to try to get to a person, I got a message stating:

"Your expected wait time is... one hour... twenty-six minutes."

Yes... I hung up.

that's about the wait on a phone call to the IRS. Unbelievable.

Try this
     https://www.ssa.gov/medicare/manage
Go to bottom left under Support & click on find an office.
Enter zip code - you will get hours, LOCAL phone #, etc.
Have used it twice in the past with good results.
