Social Security stopped our checks due to a hacked bank account. We’re relying on our church for help. The bank replaced the account several times and has now told us it is discontinuing checking-account services for us.
To receive the funds from our last checking account, we had to wait 15 days for a cashier’s check to arrive by mail. The bank has since returned our last two Social Security checks to the Social Security Administration, leaving us with no income to buy food or make our mortgage payments.
