A new study which was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society followed 18,000 older adults and found that those that regularly used the Internet had about half the risk of developing dementia compared with those who didn’t regularly use the web.  Other studies have shown better cognitive performance, verbal reasoning and memory among Internet users.  Regular readers of my blog know that both my father and my grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease when they passed away.  If you need support, there are a great group of people at the Ryan Ranch Alzheimer’s Association.  They also have a 24-hour hotline if you just want someone to talk to at 800-272-3900.

Monterey, CA Elder Abuse Scammers Posing As IRS Agents

A pile of money sitting next to stacks of cash.


There have been numerous cases of elder abusers posing as IRS agents on the phone and demanding payments for some made up past due bills.  The IRS said they would never call people without first sending a letter, and now they have reversed a decades-old policy where IRS agents would show up on your doorstep to collect unpaid taxes and unfiled tax returns.  The Treasury Department said it was reversing its policy due to fears that anti-government and anti-tax groups would track down IRS employees with malevolent intent.  So be assured that any phone call or in-person visit from a supposed IRS agent is a scam.

Getting On Social Security Disability Getting More Challenging

It has always been a struggle to get a full blown disability insurance claim approved.  However, in recent years it has gotten even more challenging due to a staffing shortage at the Social Security Administration.  According to an analysis done by the AARP’s government affairs staff, it can take more than 1.5 years go get in and have your disability claim heard.  This is the worst response rate of any government agency, according to the Government Accountability Offices, or GAO, 10K people each year die while waiting to hear back on their claim status from the GAO.

Social Security Service May Get Worse

Despite a large increase in its budget for 2023, the Social Security Administration has admitted that service to beneficiaries seeking out help will not improve for most of this year—and in some areas, it will deteriorate, according to the AARP Bulletin.  Areas which are supposed to get worse are getting help on the 800 number and getting a decision on disability benefits.  The SSA got a 6% increase in its budget for 2023, which gives it $14.1 billion to spend.  But the agency says that most of that money is already spent and it doesn’t think customer service will improve until fiscal 2024.
