CLEVELAND, Ohio — People taking care of elderly loved ones who receive Social Security benefits may not know to what they are entitled."This money belongs to us...the social security recipient,” said Don Wright, who is nothing if not passionate about his mission now to help others.“It’s our money!” he said.Reporters with E.W. Scripps television station WEWS in Cleveland, asked Wright: “Do you think many people know about this?”“No. No. That is sad,” he replied.Wright is from Akron, Ohio. He was married to a woman for 16 years. They divorced and later she passed away.In 2009, Wright said he filed for his Social Security benefits, talking with a staff member at the Akron office."He said this famous statement. ‘Well, who do you want to collect your benefits from?’” Wright said. The man offered him either his own benefits or his ex-wife's benefits."What he should have said was 'Well, you know you're entitled to collect your survivor widower's benefits first,’" Wright said.It wasn't until 2016 when some friends told Wright to look into the survivor benefits."Social security, I found out in my investigation, does not willfully just hand out a bunch of information for you to know," Wright said.He told us from that first meeting with the Akron office in 2009 until 2016, he was entitled to 7 to 8 years of the survivor benefits and more. However, after fighting for that money, he got a message from an attorney's office on his answering machine saying he might get six months to a year of benefits."The average person would think Social Security said, 'You're done! There's no way in the world you can get anything else.’ Well, that's not true,” Wright said.Reporters at WEWS found in the social security Code of Federal Regulations, there's an admission that agents "may have given you misinformation about your eligibility for such benefits ... Which caused you not to file an application at that time." It even gives examples that are similar to Wright’s claims."You don't always get that correct answer right off (the bat),” said Marcia Margolius, who is an attorney and a social security law expert. She works in Cleveland."We have to encourage people continuously to persevere, to follow up on their rights,” Margolius said.Marcia said she's experienced plenty of social security roadblocks."It's a weeding out sort-of a policy where social security may take the attitude of, if you're serious and if your claim is legitimate, you're going to keep going," she said."Is it a strategy by social security?” a WEWS reporter asked.“I wouldn't go that far…but I have seen it a lot,” Margolius said.Wright said another hurdle was when social security gave him a list of lawyers to help him through the process. He wrote letters to those attorneys only to have many returned to sender. We saw the envelopes marked “no such number,” “address vacant” and “not deliverable.”"And I kept getting all these dead ends and nobody to help me,” Wright said.WEWS investigative reporters contacted the Social Security Administration. A representative said if Wright signed a consent form, then the rep could talk to us about his case. Wright did that. However, later the rep "respectfully declined" an interview.Here’s the full statement sent to WEWS reporters: 3283

COVID-19 is impacting industries all throughout our country, and the real estate market is seeing its share of ups and downs. But now, there is a possible light at the end of the tunnel.“I’ve seen all sorts of crazy,” said realtor Amy Asher of the unpredictable housing market in 2020.First time home buyer Alex Saiz decided this was the time to pull the trigger and leave apartment life behind.“It’s really exciting and a bit stressful,” Saiz said. "I was renting. I just didn’t want to rent anymore.”He’s been looking at houses with Asher.Asher said when COVID-19 hit in March, the market screeched to a halt.“We were all nervous, because you don’t know what to expect,” Asher said.According to the National Association of Realtors, 85 percent of realtors saw a noticeable decline in sales in the spring. However, the trend is changing.“Once we got the green light to kind of move about and practice business, man, everyone just jumped,” Asher said.For most of the country, the pandemic means school at home for the kids and stressed out parents trying to work from home, too.“I’ve had a lot of past clients call me who feel like the walls of their homes are just closing in around them,” Asher said.As for Saiz, the upswing after lockdown meant finding the perfect bachelor pad."(The pandemic) almost kind of helped me, because it did bring the prices lower and the interest rates dropped,” Saiz said. “It was kind of an opportunity that I took advantage of. It was a total no-brainer.”For now, the roller coaster ride that is 2020 will continue. Although the future looks promising, this year has taught us all that anything can happen."If we don’t level out a little bit, I think we could be heading toward a bubble burst,” Asher said cautiously. 1759

CLEVELAND — On Friday, WEWS talked to Len Honacki, a Cleveland man who was waiting on his heart medication after a United States Postal Service delay.“I was a little worried how long I can go without before I call the doctor and say ‘Hey what’s going on and what do I need to do?'” he said.Tracking records show that his medicine had been to Cincinnati, Washington D.C., and Maryland.“The post office had a series of mishaps," he said.When Alicia Rauckhorst, the Northern Ohio marketing manager for USPS, learned of Honacki’s issue, she decided to take matters into her own hands.“Somewhere in there, inadvertently, it got sent to Maryland,” she said. “As soon as it got back, no matter where it was, I was going to let him know.”She called Honacki herself.“She called me just to apologize and she said ‘I will do whatever it takes to find your meds and I would get it to you,’” he said. “When someone says ‘I'll drive to Cincinnati 4 hours and pick it up and bring it 4 hours back.’ To me, I mean, come on, that’s above and beyond.”Luckily, Rauckhorst made sure his meds arrived in Cleveland Saturday night and Sunday morning she made a special delivery.“I went up there and picked up the package called it when I had it in hand and said ‘Hey, I’m on my way to your house to bring you this medicine.’”Honacki was shocked.“She comes to the front door and delivers the mail right to me. It was phenomenal,” he said.And while he was floored by the kindness, he still worries about other people who may not have their medication in time.“There are good people out there that do wonderful things,” he said.”Maybe they could come up with some sort of system where they had a priority-med service so that if they scan it, it would automatically say this is a medicine.”Rauckhorst said they know every second is important when delivering packages to people.“We don’t necessarily prioritize, in that regard, but we know that this time of year, especially being in a pandemic, everything is critical and we are doing everything we can to get every single package, letter to the customer,” she said.RELATED: Man's heart medication among deliveries impacted by USPS shipping delays, issuesThis story originally reported by Jessi Schultz on News5Cleveland.com. 2257

Coronavirus pandemic safety measures have more Americans spending the traditionally family-and-food centric holiday of Thanksgiving in smaller groups or alone.If this is your first time attempting the big meal on your own, here are some basics and places to get help and advice.First figure out how much meat you’ll need, before you buy whatever turkey is left at the grocery store. Consider roughly one pound per person, this accounts for bone weight when buying the turkey. If you like a lot of leftovers, consider 1.5 pounds per person.If it’s just you and maybe one or two others, consider buying just a turkey breast. They are usually a few to several pounds each and are all white meat.You could also opt for a whole chicken instead; they are smaller but still give you the full bird experience with light and dark meat, legs, and a wishbone to snap.Before moving on, you should probably consider if you are comfortable cooking a turkey (or chicken) from raw. If not, that’s ok. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores have done the cooking for you and will gladly deliver or have you pick up Thanksgiving meals for any size group.Once you have the right amount of meat, keep it frozen until a few days before you want to cook it, and then move it to the fridge to thaw.For what comes next, there are so many options for preparing and cooking a turkey, it’s hard to pick one way. While most agree the stuffing should not actually be stuffed inside the raw turkey, there are other questions - Foil on or off? Grill, oven or crockpot? Brine or no brine? Oil or butter?For help, step-by-step instructions, and ideas, here are some helpful links:10 Tips for cooking the perfect turkey from the Food NetworkBetty Crocker: How to cook a turkeyHow to cook a turkey, from the New York TimesPillsbury claims to have a no-fail methodAnd of course, there is the Butterball Hotline.

There is likely no turkey question they haven’t been asked before.Butterball offers turkey tips and tricks over the phone, by text message, live online chat, email and even through Amazon Alexa. And yes, they are helpful no matter what brand of turkey (or chicken) you are cooking.After all this work for the main dish, consider enjoying pre-packaged or heat-and-serve side dishes at Thanksgiving.If you are feeling adventurous and want to make sides, here are some helpful links:85 classic Thanksgiving side dishes from Delish - including sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole, cranberries, and homemade cornbread.Best Thanksgiving side dishes from Good Housekeeping - including glazed carrots, buttermilk biscuits, squash soup, and rosemary rolls.Best of all, some of them can be made ahead and heated on Thanksgiving.Leaving you more time to explain to your extended family how to unmute themselves on your family Zoom call.
