SOCIAL SECURITY CALLER SCAM SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2026

LATEST SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE FRAUD CALLS.  AS I WRITE THIS IN SEPTEMBER 2026, I HAVE RECEIVED 3 SCAM CALLS FROM THE SAME CALLER WITHIN 30 MINUTES.  BEWARE.  BE CAREFUL. 

 Be Aware!  The latest Social Security call scam is this:

You get a call (from what looks like a local number--it's fake-- and a recorded female voice says that if you have Medicare you are eligible for an extra payment of $250 this month. She asks you if you have both Medicare Parts A and B? 

 If you answer "Yes," she says, "Thanks, that's all I need to know.  My colleague will now speak with you to get your enrollment information."   PHONY. FAKE.  SCAM.  LIE.

A man with a heavy foreign accent comes on the phone. He confirms "You have both Medicare Parts A and B, correct?" You say "Yes," and he asks for your age. If you tell him your age, he will ask for more information...phishing to steal your SSN, Medicare Number, Date of Birth, Bank Information, etc.

Don't give him your age or any other personal information. Hang up immediately. The longer you talk the more danger you are in.  Hang up immediately to avoid the scam.  Do not give this criminal any personal information.

DO NOT SUPPLY THESE CRIMINALS WITH YOUR

  • Age
  • Date of Birth
  • Address
  • Phone Number
  • Social Security Number
  • Medicare Number
  • Bank information
  • Or Any Other Personal Information

These are 100 percent scam calls, recognized as such by Medicare and the Social Security Administration.  The caller is phishing for information so he can steal your identify and steal your money, or gain access to your accounts.  It is a dangerous call. The call most likely originates from outside the USA, probably from India.

If you have family members, loved ones or elderly friends--please warn them not to talk to these scammers / criminals.

Medicare and Social Security DO NOT give out extra bonuses or unexpected free money and they DO NOT call people asking personal questions. There is no Medicare bonus in 2026. Cost of Living Adjustments by Social Security are automatic and no one calls you for information.  THESE ARE ALWAYS SCAMS.

I am providing this warning because I know people who have lost savings and had their identify stolen by these criminals.  Don't fall for it.  Please help me warn people on Medicare or Social Security.   This can happen to YOU.

MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY CASE

What are the top 3 most important factors in a Social Security disability case? 1.  Medical Evidence. 2.  Medical Evidence 3.  Medical Evidence 4-10     Medical Evidence Federal regulations set the eligibility requirements for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.  A claimant must meet these strict legal requirements More than anything else, the claimant's medical evidence will determine the outcome of the claim or appeal.  Without strong objective medical evidence Social Security cannot legally pay you a benefit. Objective Medical Evidence means the result of medical examinations, laboratory tests or imaging studies (X-rays, PT scans, MRI or CT scans). This type of evidence can only be obtained by going to your doctor. There's an old adage that says truthfully:  "The path to Social Security disability benefits runs straight through your doctor's office."  Being approved for an SSDI benefit requires objective medical proof. ...

SOCIAL SECRITY DISABILITY: THE DECISION WRITING PROCESS

  By Charles W. Forsythe - The Forsythe Firm in Huntsville An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) has made a decision on your Social Security disability appeal hearing. The decision must now be sent to to a process called "Decision Writing" - where an attorney or paralegal will draft the formal binding decision, explaining the judge's legal rationale for the decision and explaining the mandatory 5-Step decision making process. The decision writing process translates a judge's ruling into a formal, legally binding document. It is a vital but time-consuming phase that ensures all medical evidence and vocational factors align with the law. A typical written decision will be 10 to 20 pages, thus very detailed.  It takes time to write one. There are many decisions ahead of yours and usually they are written in the order received. The step-by-step process breaks down as follows: The Judge’s Ruling & Instructions:  Following your hearing, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) r...

UNDERSTANDING THE 5-STEP SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY PROCESS

Receiving Social Security disability payments depend on one thing:  Proving that you are not able to work. The one and only thing that SSDI pays for is the physical and/or mental inability to work for a period of at least 12 months.  Who decides if you are able to work?  The Social Security Administration (SSA) will decide.--according to their own strict rules and regulations. In reaching that important decision, are you disabled or not, Social Security must use a 5-step examination process.  It's important to understand these 5 sequential steps. STEP 1:  The work Test .  Is the claimant now engaged in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA)?  If yes, the claim is denied at Step 1.  They look no further.  You cannot be eligible for SSDI benefits if you are working at SGA, regardles of your medical condition.  (In 2026 you are working at SGA if you earn at least $1,690 per month from work or self-employment). STEP 2.  The Medical Requirem...
