If I can show a document that was falsified would that change my standings? When I received the first letter of op the amount was $1745.00. i went to the dhhs office and talked to a case worker to find out why. She dialed a number and handed me the phone. I explained to this person my situation and he brought up my file and looked it over and said the amount was incorrect and reduced to $588.00. i told the cw I wished to appeal it and the paperwork was filed. When I had my hearing {by phone) the person who filed the op against me saw that the amount in now being disputed was 588.00. He had no clue what happened to the 1745.00. He told the judge that he could not locate the original letter. That's because it was no longer the amount in dispute. So the hearing was for 588. A few days later I got a letter of op for the 1745 again. He went in his files and re printed the letter and added the 588 and the 1745 so that now I owed the 2 combined. A case worker said that the original amount that was re sent should have said "reprint" on it but it didn't. The time frame for the first letter($1745) was 08/2014-01/2015. Three of the same months with the same amounts were used in the second letter. The second go round the judge ruled in my favor because the facts and amounts did not add up. I think his cage was rattled! When he appealed that ruling, he brought back up. A supervisor who had gone and did her handy work revised this and that tidied up the mess the guy had created and on top of that increased the total to $2330.00 that I now owe. For a program designed to help people in need and now creating the worst time in my life, I don't get it. Why is this allowed to happen? We stopped receiving food stamps in Feb. Is Mr. Ricketts okay with these procedures? This shtuff needs to be revamped. Some new mo's need to be put into motion.
