 Between 500 and 600 former clients scammed out of hundreds of millions of dollars by Attorney Eric C. Kahn are now eligible to have those benefits reinstated and receive back pay from Social Security. However, only around 150 clients have taken advantage. The settlement is significant. It allows people who have been without benefits seven years to immediately get their monthly benefits back now. And if they win their new hearing, they get back pay, which would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The challenge is this. We don't know who these 500 to 600 people are. Everything with Social Security is confidential. The settlement with the Social Security Administration was a compromise that they would mail letters to their last addresses. And unfortunately, our estimate is probably not much more than 100 of the 500 have any idea what's going on. And we've been desperately trying to get the word out. You want to save money and Appalachian Wireless gets that. Right now you can get up to $650 off select devices, including the latest and the greatest on the advantage and limited plan with a trade in. Did y'all hear me? Up to $650 off select devices, including the latest and greatest with a trade in. I'm not a math whiz, but this deal, it's amazing. And you'll be on the region's premier network. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. While the Social Security Administration agreed to notify the former clients at their last known address, many have moved, are now homeless, or have lost faith in ever reinstating their Social Security. These are people who've been without seven years. And if you win your new hearing, by the time they have these hearings, I think they're starting next year, we're talking about six, seven, eight years of back pay. That's probably on average about $200,000 each. So these people have a lot to gain to undo an unfairness that was done to them. I mean, these people without benefits, many of them are homeless. A lot of them have tried to many have tried to commit suicide. Many have committed suicide. And it's really to pull these people out of a really dark hole they've been in for the last seven years. To see if you are eligible to have your benefits reinstated, contact the Social Security Office or call 606-886-6090. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
