I just wanted to take the time to thank Lisa for all her help today! I have had the same issue with my soms benefits for years now. I have had to go in the office multiple times to correct this same error over the years. My sons father is their payee and has not lived with us for some years now. I'm not sure how this always gets mixed up but it does. Usually, I am frustrated and stressed but Lisa answered the phone promptly not once but TWICE! ( I'm usually on hold forever). she also reassured me and was on top of things to correct this error once again. Lisa made me feel less stressed about the situation and and was reassuring. She immediately did all she could to have this reversed as soon as possible and I just wanna say how much I appreciate that especially now when timing is more stressful for all of us in the world. I wish there were more like her. She was very professional and caring and I can tell that she works hard for all others. I hope she gets some recognition for her outstanding customer service. she deserves it! I hope others appreciate her as much as I do. Thank you again Lisa. I hope you are able to view this
The employee that helped answer my question's was great. She answered them without a problem.
I need to reschedule my appointment but am getting nowhere with the phone numbers suggested.
