It must be my lucky day! At least with government agencies anyway. I just checked mySocialSecurity and it said that my benefit application has been approved today.
I think my file is still being updated since the Benefit Verification Letter still says my application is pending, and I didn’t get anything in the mail yet. Pretty soon I will get a Medicare card in the mail like millions of senior citizens.
I knew my applications to Social Security and EDD were legit. I do have ESRD and heart bypass surgery is a pretty common disability when it comes to work. I was just worried that government bureaucracy would somehow bite me and it would take too long to resolve. Luckily everything seems to be processed and approved accordingly.
