I was an eligibility technician at DHS for 30 years.

I loved my job.

Over the years I have met some of my clients.

They have outstanding jobs and some are married with families

Again as I said I loved my job, helping the needy.

Now I’m in a position that I’m the needy.

I have had ONE raise in 23 years that equals $700.00.

I’m 86 I would like to pay my bills in a timely manner and not have interest added to the bottom line.

So we can’t have compound rate but COLA can be implemented in many ways

Thank you I pray I will see an increase in my retirement statement by June 2024
