Yeah, there are a ton of rich retirees down there with nothing better to do than wait in line and b---- about every little thing they don't like in between shopping trips to NYC or gambling in Atlantic City.

They are some of most contrary demanding people on Earth. They are all retired and have nothign better to do than run down and question why their benefits are 3 cents less this month than last or why their cousin gets $37.00 more in their retirement check than they do. Never hurts to ask is a common response down there. The lines ar elooked at a social event for these people and are found everywhere including buffet restaurants. Oh Vey, the stories I could tell you. Pity the poor SSA workers in Florida. They deserve combat pay.

We get SS card requests and ben vers out fairly quickly to lower the average rate for folks waiting 2 hours plus for redeterminations, appeals, claims without appointments, overpayments etc. If/when we get rid of ben vers (looking less likely) the average time will skyrocket and be more honest.
