CINCINNATI — When Irina Chamberlain went online to pay her student loans, she was surprised to learn that she's dead.Chamberlain — who moves, talks and isn't decomposing — said she was declared dead by the Social Security Administration in early December. Since then, she's had trouble accessing her bank accounts and making payments. "With my busy life, I'm always running, doing something," she said. "I actually thought, 'Maybe I actually died and did not realize that.' I reached for my dog and I was like, 'Can I touch them? Am I still alive, or what's going on?'"The mistake led Chamberlain to call the Social Security office, which she said had her on hold for an hour. "She said, 'Well, what's more important — to lose money or prove that you're alive?' I said both are important, but who pays me for losing a day of work," Chamberlain said.Since Chamberlain was declared dead, she hasn't been able to make deposits or withdrawls, or pay any bills. The process of being declared alive is also taking a lot of her time."I don't have time to prove that I'm alive," she said. "Somebody's mistake should exist like that, you can't [make a] mistake like that, claim somebody dead and don't even check maybe this person is alive."It could take months to get sorted out, according to Deborah Wagner, a senior attorney with Legal Aid."A lot of times it happens if your spouse dies and you have a joint bank account," Wagner said. "They report it, and for some reason the names get confused and it gets reported on both Social Security numbers."Chamberlain said the only death in her family was her father-in-law back in October."He's a male, completely different life and Social Security number, but same last name," Chamberlain said. "But everybody else in my family is alive, except me."Chamberlain is one of thousands of people this happens to each year. About 2.8 million deaths are reported to the Social Security Administration each year. A spokesperson said less than a third of a percent are corrected.In a statement, the Social Security Administration said it "recognizes erroneous death cases are very sensitive because of financial hardship and distress," and that it works to correct cases like this immediately.Wagner said Legal Aid gets about two of these cases a year."You have nothing," she said. "They've frozen your bank accounts, you can't use credit cards."It used to happen even more often, according to Mike Walters. He used to work as a claims representative with Social Security, and is now Pro Seniors."It used to be that Social Security would take phone calls and take somebody's benefits based on a phone call from a family member who said, 'My mother passed away,'" Walters said.Now, there are more checks and balances in place to avoid something like Chamberlain's situation."There were serious problems with resurrecting somebody on the computer system if they got terminated," Walters said.But why does something like this happen in the first place? Walters said the error could have had to do with the fact that Medicare used to have Social Security numbers on Medicare cards. "The Medicare number would be that spouse's Social Security number followed by a letter," he said. "Hospitals would report death in a patient, and maybe left off that letter at the end of the claim number."There are a lot of reasons why it could've happened. According to the Social Security Administration, deaths are reported to them from states, family members, funeral homes and financial institutions. 3527

Coca-Cola wants Americans to give Coke Energy a shot.The beverage company will start selling four varieties of its energy drink — Coca-Cola Energy, Coca-Cola Energy Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola Energy Cherry and Coca-Cola Energy Cherry Zero Sugar — in the United States in mid-January. Coke Energy and Coke Energy Zero Sugar are already available internationally, but the cherry flavor is new.The new product is designed to help Coke to introduce Coca-Cola drinkers, who may not consume energy drinks, to a growing category. It's also a way for the company to make sure that its core Coca-Cola brand remains fresh.But first, Coca-Cola has to make sure drinkers understand just what Coke Energy is.A boost of energyCoca-Cola Energy has 114 mg of caffeine in each 12-ounce serving.That's nearly four times the caffeine in a can of regular Coca-Cola (34 mg), and three times the caffeine in a can of Diet Coke (46 mg).It will be more expensive, too: Coca-Cola Energy will have a recommended price of .49 per 12-ounce container. Similarly-sized regular Cokes are generally sold in packs of 12, and cost about per package (about 33 cents each).In the United States, total energy drink and energy shot sales reached about .5 billion in 2018, up 30% from 2013, according to a report from research group Mintel. The sector could have sales of about billion in 2023, Mintel projects.Coke drinkers aren't really in on the trend, according to Coca-Cola Brand Director Janki Gambhir."Many consumers that drink Coke don't engage in the energy category today," she told CNN Business, noting that they still may be interested. "A lot of the work that we will do will be focused around educating consumers," she said.To figure out how to make Coke Energy work in the United States, the company spoke with more than 1,100 people — including energy drink consumers and those that don't regularly drink the beverage — to make sure that it delivers what people want. The company plans to introduce the product by advertising it through television commercials and billboards, as well as handing out samples.With Coca-Cola Energy, the company hopes to boost sales within the Coke brand rather than steal share from other energy drinks or Coke flavors. Coca-Cola owns about 18% of Monster Energy, and has a strategic partnership with the company.In addition to giving Coca-Cola another way into the energy sector, Coke Energy can help make sure people don't stop drinking Coke.Keeping Coke currentCoca-Cola has ambitions of being a "global beverage company." It sells iced tea, juice, water, coffee and smoothies. But Coke is its core business, and only a few years ago the Coke brand was stagnating.To boost the brand, Coca-Cola has given Diet Coke a millennial-friendly makeover, launched a new flavor and, for a limited time, brought back New Coke in partnership with Netflix's "Stranger Things." Coca-Cola Energy and Coca-Cola Plus Coffee, which is for now only available internationally, are more ways to keep people excited about cola.So far, Coca-Cola's efforts to revitalize its core brand seem to be working. Second quarter sales were driven in part by 4% global growth in trademark Coca-Cola, the company said. And international sales of Coke Energy are "encouraging," said CEO James Quincey in a July call discussing the quarter's financial results .Coca-Cola hopes that Coke Energy will be a continued source of long term growth, said Gambhir, adding that there is a "pipeline full of new flavors" and other innovations for the platform. 3543

Ed Guzman was the very first person in his Mexican immigrant family to attend college.“Entered in fall of ’95, graduated in spring of ’99,” Guzman says. “I was a history major at Stanford.” Stanford University is among the list of schools William Rick Singer is accused of helping parents pay their way into in a large college admission scheme, which was uncovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.The news angered people everywhere, including Guzman, who says it wasn’t easy getting into Stanford.“I still remember my father, him asking for advances on his salary because it was, well ‘how do we pay for this?’” Guzman recalls.Financial aid, scholarships, and his parents scraping by paved the way toward Guzman’s success, which is why he was left shaking his head after hearing of the news of the “biggest college admissions scam in history.”“I just was astonished because there was such an element of like entitlement, when there are those of us who just work so hard just to even get a whiff of it,” Guzman says.The vice president of the National Association for College Admissions, Stefanie Niles, says this extreme case of bribery boils down to upholding ethics and integrity for all parties involved in the admissions process.“Certainly, there’s more to learn about what happened and what exactly went on, and I know this will continue to raise issues and discussion within the higher education community and beyond for certainly weeks, months if not years to come,” Niles says.Guzman hopes those involved are held accountable.“I guess the potential good thing that could come out of this is that people will look at the processes a lot more closely, because it appears that it can be easily manipulated,” Guzman says.Authorities say 50 people, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, took part in the scheme that involved either cheating on standardized tests or bribing college coaches to accept students as college athletes. Many of the students accepted as athletes never even played that sport, according to charging documents.“I know that there’s probably frustration out there amongst families that individuals with wealth could get away with this,” Niles says.The alleged orchestrater of the scheme, William Rick Singer, pleaded guilty Tuesday to four charges. 2309

" Heller told reporters."Mr. Gooding has not acted inappropriately in any shape or form. Nothing in the video could even be considered ambiguous and I, frankly, am shocked and horrified that this case is being prosecuted," he said.NYPD met with the Oscar winner after a 29-year-old woman filed a police report claiming he grabbed her breast at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in Manhattan.Gooding has denied the claim.The woman in the alleged incident told police she was with friends when she was confronted by a male patron whom she described as Gooding, 1349
