Late enrollment penalty appeal
2
Upon receivinga Late enrollment penalty letter in Nov. of 2020 with UNC, I submitted an appeal for reconsideration. On the website I used for filling out the appeal, it stated a decision would be determined in ~90 days. I still have not received any decision, and they continue to deduct the penalty from my SS check. I contacted my Senator's office in April and about a month later the SSA told Sen. Hironon's office that the LEP I claimed was actually the premium for prescription drug coverage through my Advantage program. I contacted my Insurance provider (Wellcare) and they told me that they have no premiums for drug coverage and the 7.90 per month was a LEP initiated by SSA. My Senator's office went back to SSA with this info and has now waited for 3 months with no response. I hope to use this complaint against the SSA for not meeting their fiduciary responsibilities.
