Wanda has been homeless for nearly 16 years. He sought to persuade others that the government owed him $100,000 every day. Walking the streets with three suitcases full of documents and unpaid checks, everyone thought she was insane.<\/p>\n
Witter was a mother of four children and worked as a locksmith. She spent years demonstrating on the streets of Washington that the social security system was failing her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey thought I was insane for getting rid of my baggage. I used to tell myself that if I did something dumb, they would think I was insane \u201cexplained the lady.<\/p>\n
Julie Turner, a 56-year-old social worker, listened to Witter one day and discovered she was correct.<\/p>\n
Turner double-checked Wanda\u2019s paperwork and found that everything was in order.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe needed money assistance, not mental health assistance. He owed the state $100,000 \u201cTurner remarked.<\/p>\n
But how did the wife recognize there was a problem?<\/p>\n
Every month, Witter began receiving checks ranging in value from $300 to $900. When Witter called to inquire about the differences, Social Security was unable to respond.<\/p>\n
The woman chose not to cash the checks because she thought there was something wrong with them, so she returned them. \u201cWho would have believed me if I had collected them and claimed that a mistake had been made?\u201d<\/p>\n
Witter told local reporters that she is still doubtful, but that if she receives the correct check, she will believe that the matter will be resolved.<\/p>\n
Julie Turner, a social worker, assisted Witter in finding a $ 500 flat.<\/p>\n
Witter received his first Social Security check, valued at $1,644, a week after the story was published in the press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
