I received my social security check this month, but it was reduced by $600+. I have no statement about why the check is reduced. I called immediately, but lines were busy and I was advised not to call on Mondays, so started calling yesterday and then today and was told by a machine that no one was available to take my call and to call back later. Also, I went online and eventually was told that I had used all my tries to enter and had to wait until the next day. Why can't I have an explanation or at least a notice about why my check was lowered?? And, why can't I enter my account? Yvonne L.P. Daniel
